ILOILO City-Sagay and Escalante Cities yesterday sent trucks to get the relief goods intended for their constituents.
Both Local Government Units sent trucks via roro. Sagay took 3,000 food packs while Escalante City received 6,038. Due to the volume of goods for hauling, the truck sent by Sagay will have to do four loadings to complete the hauling of 13,268 food packs.
Escalante, on the other, has received its complete allocation.
These goods are what remains of the 515,071 food packs for the last round of distribution. To date, there are 62,972 remaining food packs to finish the last round of  distribution.

Cadiz City, on the other hand, has communicated that it will be sending  trucks to get their allocation totaling to 24,560. The other remaining areas with unclaimed food packs include Manapla, Silay City, Victorias City and EB Magalona, all in Negros Occidental, and Buruanga, Tangalan and Malinao in Aklan.
The DSWD is bent on completing the releasing of goods on or before September 15. It is also working in partnership with PNP and AFP for the hauling of the goods to LGUs which have difficulty in finding trucks to claim the allocation for them./dswd6/May Castillo
