The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) began another massive relief drive in Northern Luzon on Friday, November 15, immediately after Typhoon Ofel barreled down the country’s northern towns and provinces.
The agency prepared over 21,000 relief packs and immediately extended aid to displaced residents in Apayao (1,000 packs), Cagayan (2,000 packs), Isabela (5,000 packs), and Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte (2,000 packs).
A total of 11,000 food and non-food packs are also scheduled for delivery to severely affected municipalities in Cagayan including Aparri, Baggao, Ballesteros, Buguey, Calayan, Sanchez Mira, and Santa Teresita.
“We have been in close coordination with the Office of Civil Defense to facilitate the distribution of these relief aids to severely affected communities,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
“We understand the need of these local communities to receive all the help they can get and enable them to rise above their dire situation,” he said.
The PAGCOR chief added that even at the height of Typhoon Ofel, the agency was in constant coordination with local government units (LGUs) to ensure the timely distribution of relief assistance.
“We have been actively working with affected LGUs to determine the number of displaced families that needed help and to ensure that no community is left behind,” Mr. Tengco said.
Super Typhoon Ofel, the 15th tropical storm to hit the Philippines this year, left a trail of damage in Northern Luzon. The province of Cagayan alone reported Php1.4 billion in damage to agriculture from the series of typhoons in recent weeks.
