LEGAZPI CITY, Albay – Hundreds of families affected by the ongoing Mayon Volcano unrest in the province of Albay are set to receive P5,000 cash assistance from the special fund of House Speaker Martin Romualdez. Albay Rep. Joey Salceda said on Monday, June 19, that families evacuated in Legazpi City, Daraga, and Camalig will get P5,000 each. "Each congressman was assigned to his district. Lahat ng families P5,000 uniform (All families P5,000 uniform)," he said. Salceda, in partnership with popular fastfood chain Jollibee, distributed fried chicken meal dubbed "Chicken JOeY" to hundreds of evacuees.

(Niño Luces) “’Yung cash assistance is from Speaker but only for 2D. ‘Yung Chicken JOeY ay sa lahat ng evacuees sa evacuation centers. ‘Yung Chicken JOeY distribution ‘yan sa lahat ng evacuation centers sa Albay, seven LGUs, 34 evacuation centers.
