The DSWD Region V, together with the Provincial Government’s PSWDO, successfully distributed over ₱10 million pesos worth of Emergency Cash Transfer (ECT) to disaster-stricken families from the municipalities of Gainza, Pili, Ocampo, Buhi, and Tinambac on August 14, 2025.
Families with partially-damaged houses received 5,032 in cash aid, while those with totally-damaged houses received 9,768 pesos. One of the beneficiaries is 60-year-old Beatriz Deniña from San Juan, Poblacion 1, Gainza, who shared how severe flooding destroyed their livelihood and damaged the first floor of their home.
“Sa pagbuhay mi talagang masakit lalo na sa pag-uma. Su mga paroy na aanihon na sana, dai man po naani ta nabaha. Nagparabarato pa po su presyo kang paroy. Kahirak man po samong mga paraoma.
