TACLOBAN CITY — The Tacloban City District Engineering Office has provided relief assistance on November 11, 2024 to victims of Typhoon Kristine, which has devastated several regions in the Philippines, leaving at least 116 people dead and affecting over 6.7 million individuals.
Personnel from the engineering office contributed essential supplies, including canned goods, drinking water, biscuits, and clean, dry clothing.
These items were delivered to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Regional Office VIII to ensure proper and secure distribution to affected areas.
Typhoon Kristine, internationally known as Trami, caused widespread destruction across multiple regions, including CALABARZON, the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, and parts of Mindanao. Agricultural losses alone are estimated at P2.9 billion, alongside significant damage to homes and infrastructure.
“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Filipinos affected by Typhoon Kristine. Our collective efforts in providing these relief goods aim to alleviate the suffering and help communities recover more swiftly from the devastation,” District Engineer Rebecca G. Yuse emphasized the importance of unity and prompt action in times of calamity.
The donations from the Tacloban City District Engineering Office represent a crucial part of the ongoing relief efforts across the country, as communities strive to rebuild and recover from the significant impact of Typhoon Kristine.
