The city government of San Carlos extended help to Sipalay City and municipalities of Ilog and Cauayan in the 6th District of Negros Occidental on Tuesday, February 1, after said areas were reportedly devastated by super typhoon “Odette” last December.

Charlen Pol Bistis-Anlap, Admin Officer III of the City Mayor’s Office, said four trucks loaded with essential items which include canned goods, bottled water and sacks of rice were delivered to said areas.

Used clothing collected from the local Department of Education and private individuals were also added to the distributed goods.

Anlap cited that said donation is part of the city’s commitment to assist other localities in times of calamity while also providing cash assistance and various necessities to local beneficiaries due to the said typhoon and the fire that also broke out in the city.

She also said that donations such as hygiene kits, rice, canned-goods, bottled water and used clothing are still welcome through the City Social Welfare and Development Office.

The city government already distributed essential goods to Kabankalan City and Ilog town last December which were also badly hit by “Odette.”/WDJ
