ILOILO City-Following other localities in Negros Occidental, Cadiz City also pulled out from DSWD6 its relief goods allocation yesterday.
It has pulled out from DSWDs warehouse a total of 12,180 food packs as it sent three trucks to get and bring the goods to Negros Occidental via roro.
The DSWD has earlier vowed to complete the releasing of remaining relief goods numbering to 72,010 on or before September 15. This is what remain of 515,071 packs for the last round of distribution.
Since Monday, the agency has so far released 21,218 packs bringing the remaining goods to 50,772 or 9.8 percent.
Prior the move of Cadiz, Escalante and Sagay City also brought trucks to get their allocation. 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.
Other remaining areas with unclaimed food packs include Manapla, Silay City, Victorias City and EB Magalona, all from Negros Occidental, and Tangalan, Malinao and Buruanga in Aklan.
The DSWD 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
