“We, at the DSWD, assure the governor, district representatives, and town and city mayors that we will provide the needed support—both food and non-food items (FNIs) and  even personnel of the FO-7,” DSWD Central Visayas Regional Director Shalaine Marie Lucero said on Thursday (September 12).

The Field Office also prepositioned 3,400 FFPs in the nearby municipality of Vallehermoso, Negros Oriental.

“A total of 14,385 boxes of FFPs in Dumaguete City are also available for augmentation to LGUs as the need arises,” the FO-7 regional director said.

The DSWD FO-7 has requested additional 3,000 non-food items from the agency’s National Resource Operations Center (NROC) in Pasay City to be prepositioned in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental.
