MANILA, Philippines —  Residents in Northern and Central Luzon affected by Typhoon Egay (international name: Doksuri) have received P287 million worth of assistance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Romualdez said the cash assistance, relief goods, generators, and financial aid are from his personal funds and DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program.

Romualdez and the Tingog party-list facilitated the release of the AICS funds and relief to typhoon-hit victims.
