Fire victims get assistance
BY RENE GENOVE

Two fire victims, whose homes were affected in Barangay Talay, Dumaguete City two months ago received financial assistance at the City Mayor’s Office Tuesday.

Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria handed P10,000 in cash to Jaqueline Mamon, whose house was destroyed by the fire, while Analie Zamora received P5,000 for her damaged home.

In June, Sagarbarria had also given financial assistance to six families who lost their homes and belongings to a fire that hit Barangay Looc, also in Dumaguete.
