The office of Bacolod City Lone District Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez has extended assistance to families affected by the fire incident in Purok Lampirong, Barangay 2, providing packed meals and hot soup to those who were displaced.
A total of 29 families or 89 individuals were affected by the incident.
Upon receiving reports of the fire, Benitez’s team coordinated relief efforts to ensure that the victims received warm meals and immediate support.
Volunteers and staff from the congressional office delivered the packed meals and hot soup to the affected families, many of whom were temporarily staying in nearby areas.
“We want our affected residents to know that they are not alone. Our office will continue to monitor the situation and provide assistance as needed,” Benitez said in a statement.
The congressional office is in close coordination with city and barangay officials to assess additional needs of the displaced families and ensure that further assistance reaches them.
The Bacolod congressman also expressed his concern for the safety and welfare of the victims and reaffirmed his office’s commitment to supporting communities during emergencies.
Benitez earlier extended P1-million financial assistance from his personal funds to 200 families, who are also victims of fire in Barangay 39. ||
