DAET, Camarines Norte, Nov. 12 (PIA) -- The local government unit of Daet in Camarines Norte joins the growing list of local governments in the country providing aid to the victims of Super Typhoon “Yolanda” as a show of solidarity and a sense of community among Filipinos.
Mayor Tito Sarion announced that he has authorized the release of P100,000 to buy supplies such as food, water and medicine to be distributed in the devastated areas in the eastern Visayas, particularly in Tacloban City, known to be one of the areas hardest hit by the typhoon.
Speaking during the flag raising ceremony of the LGU yesterday (Nov. 11) Mayor Sarion also exhorted his fellow Daeteños to extend whatever assistance they can give to typhoon victims, be it in kind, monetary or voluntary service.
He noted that as Daeteños should be thankful to the Almighty for sparing the municipality of the wrath of Yolanda, “it is all the more our civic duty to show solidarity and help fellow Filipinos in distressed”.
The LGU of Daet initiated a municipal-wide relief campaign and sought the help of its employees, government offices, schools, churches and commercial establishments to pool their efforts and combined them as a singular donation from Daeteños. Mayor Sarion plans to bring them personally at Tacloban City at the soonest time possible.
During the Chiefs of Offices meeting, the mayor also announced that he is foregoing his Christmas bonus and giving it as a financial assistance to Ricardo Casin, 71, a garbage inspector at Daet public market and hails from Tacloban City. Casin tearfully related that he did not know if his fifteen relatives, all living in Imelda Avenue - one of the most devastated areas in Tacloban City, are still alive as he does have any means to communicate with them.
