The offices of Romualdez and Tingog Party-list Reps Yedda Romualdez and Jude Acidre launched on Monday, Jan. 9 joint relief operations in various municipalities of the province by turning over P1 million in cash aid and more than 1,600 food packs worth P500,000.

Rep. Romualdez, wife of Speaker Romualdez, is the chairperson of the House Committee on Accounts. Acidre is a deputy majority leader.

"This is the least that we can do for our kababayans who were displaced by the floods. Rest assured that we will always be responsive to calls for assistance from disaster-stricken provinces. A little malasakit (compassion) can go a long way, and we're here to lend a hand," Speaker Romualdez, Leyte’s 1st district congressman, said.

The distributed food packs each contained three kilos of rice, three packets of instant noodles, three pieces of canned goods, and six sachets of 3-in-1 coffee.

The solons sent help to the affected barangays of Tagum City and the municipalities of New Corella, Asuncion, Kapalong, Carmen, and Braulio E. Dujali.

Augmenting the relief packs produced by the Speaker's office and Tingog Party list were an additional 3,000 family packs from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

The distribution of food packs and cash donation were done in coordination with Davao del Norte 2nd district Rep. Alan Dujali and Vice Governor De Carlo Uy, who provided the offices of the House officials with a list of recipients.

Last month, the same offices turned over 1,000 family food packs and 17,650 bottled water to Misamis Occidental after heavy rainfall caused floods and landslides in the province. Cash assistance of P2 million was also given to the province.

Earlier last year, Speaker Romualdez also initiated a fund drive and relief operations to provide assistance to the victims of typhoon "Paeng".
