BACOLOD CITY — The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) began distributing Thursday a cash assistance to 3,166 families of Barangay Carabalan in Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental.

Gunbattles between government and rebel forces caused residents of Carabalan to evacuate for almost two weeks in October, which disrupted their livelihood.
