Continuing the whole-of-government approach to address the effects of El Niño, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. leads the distribution of assistance to farmers, fisherfolk and families in a program at the Universidad de Zamboanga Summit Center in Barangay Tetuan, Zamboanga City on 9 May 2024.
The said assistance covers financial aid amounting to PhP10,000 for beneficiaries from Region 9. The President likewise extends monetary support totaling around PhP58 million to the City of Zamboanga and the Provinces of Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga Sibugay.
Through the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) Program, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is also set to distribute PhP10,000 each to 10,000 fisherfolk and farmers.
Ensuring that all other forms of assistance are delivered to affected communities, the Office of First Lady Louise Araneta Marcos also brings in the ‘Lab For All’ Caravan to facilitate the families’ medical and health needs, alongside the ‘Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair’ by the Office of House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
Furthermore, joining in this collaborative effort is the Department of Agriculture (DA) by closely monitoring and studying strategies in cloud seeding, operations, irrigation systems and building climate resilient projects, as well as the Department of Health (DOH) by prioritizing the health and water supply needs of those affected by the extreme heat, among many others.
