The City Government of Davao, through the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), distributed cash assistance to fire victims of Barangay 5-A on Friday, September 13.

Amelee Buot, CSWDO District Head for Población District-A, said a total of 133 affected families received the financial assistance.

Buot said that aside from the relief goods distributed by the CSWDO on August 25-26, they also gave cash assistance worth P20,000 to 48 families whose houses were razed by the fire, and P15,000 to 10 families whose houses were damaged.

Forty-four house sharers and 28 renters each received P10,000, while P5,000 was given to two boarders and one caretaker.

Buot said those who were not available during the payout, as some of them have already left the evacuation center, can claim their cash assistance at the CSWDO or at the City Treasurer’s Office. CIO
