The Department of Social Welfare and Development Region 7 distributed yesterday P27 million in Emergency Shelter Assistance to 2,883 families in Negros Oriental, who were affected by tropical storm “Sendong” last December 17.

The distribution was held simultaneously at the Negros Oriental Convention Center in Dumaguete City, and in Tanjay City.

The ESA and the Core Shelter Assistance Project funds aimed to address the shelter needs of displaced and homeless families, after “Sendong” severely affected the 10 towns and cities in Negros Oriental, Aileen Lariba of DSWD 7 said.
