Nasa 7,000 na pamilya na naapektuhan ng oil spill sa Oriental Mindoro ang nabigyan na ng ayuda ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Mismong si DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian ang namahagi ng ayuda sa anim na munisipalidad ng Oriental Mindoro. Ito ay sa Naujan, Pola, Pinamalayan, Bongabong, Gloria, at Bansud.
Nasa 800,000 litro ng industrial fuel ang karga ng lumubog na MT Princess Empress.
Bukod sa food packs, namahagi rin si Gatchalian ng Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations at cash-for-work programs.
“This will be a sustained endeavor while the oil spill prevents our fisher folk from conducting their regular livelihood activities,” pahayag ni Gatchalian.
Una rito, inatasan ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang DSWD na pakilusin na ang quick response team.
“The government, through the DSWD, is prepared to provide various forms of assistance to families and individuals affected by the oil spill caused by the submerged MT Princess Empress in Oriental Mindoro,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.
Inaasahang aabot pa sa 10,000 pamilya ang maapektuhan ng oil spill.
May naka-preposition na ang DSWD na P78.9 milyong standby at stockpile funds ang DSWD.
“As the number of affected families is expected to increase to up to 10,000, DSWD has prepositioned more than P78.9 million worth of standby and stockpile funds composed of some 42,400 FFPs and standby funds amounting to P7.2 million which can be tapped to augment assistance to affected municipalities in Oriental Mindoro,” pahayag ng DSWD.
Patuloy ang pagmonitor ng DSWD sa mga apetadong residente sa lugar.
