Social Welfare department bares new relief distribution scheme

TO ensure orderly and equal distribution of relief goods, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) came up with a new relief distribution scheme for the 17 quake-affected towns in Bohol.

These towns include Antequera, Balilihan, Buenavista, Calape, Carmen, Catigbian, Clarin, Corella, Cortes, Danao, Inabanga, Loon, Maribojoc, Sagbayan, San Isidro, Sevilla and Tubigon.

The DSWD has partnered with the Bohol provincial government, Australian Aid and the World Food Programme for the new distribution scheme.

Last Nov. 1 to 3, DSWD distributed 59,703 family food packs in the affected areas. Each pack contained 20 kilos of rice, 10 cans of sardines, 10 cans of beef loaf, 10 packs of noodles, 10 packs of coffee, and 10 packs of chocolate drink.

Three more rounds of relief distribution will be done on Nov. 16-18, Dec. 1-3 and Dec. 16-17. Food packs to be distributed will contain 20 kilos of rice, six cans of sardines, five cans of beef loaf, five cans of corned beef, five cans of pork and beans, five cans of sausage and 10 packs of coffee.
