Antipolo LGU provides pet supplies to landslide victims

Published Aug 3, 2023 05:23 am
The Antipolo City local government on Thursday, August 3, provided pet supplies to the victims of the landslide in Barangay Sta. Cruz that killed a woman and her pet dog on July 16. According to Antipolo City Mayor Jun Ynares, the local government unit (LGU) distributed dog food, vitamins, supplements, and leash and collars to the victims and their pets. Ynares condoled with the family of Dina Saban who was killed when she tried to save her pet dog during the landslide and recognized her for her bravery and love for her pet. "Nakikiisa rin po kami sa panalangin para sa mga namayapang alagang aso / pusa ng mga biktima dulot ng pagguho (We also pray for the deceased dogs and cats)," the mayor added. The local chief said the city government continues to provide financial, infrastructural, and grocery aids to over 20 families or 53 individuals still living in modular shelters in the barangay. "Titiyakin natin may sarili na silang mga lupa at tahanan sa lalong madaling panahon (We will ensure that they will receive their own house and lots soon)," Ynares said. The landslide occurred when a wall from a nearby construction site suddenly collapsed following the heavy downpour in the area. Barangay Sta.Cruz Chairperson Cirilio Tenorio said that the wall collapsed around 7 p.m. after residents heard a loud explosion before it came crashing down. The second portion of the wall collapsed after 30 minutes, which allowed residents to safely evacuate from the area. Tenorio explained that Saban was cooking when the incident happened. Upon hearing the first explosion, she hurriedly evacuated her niece from their house and went back to save her dog. The chairman said barangay officials and rescuers from the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) rushed to the site to conduct the rescue operation. Saban and her dog's remains were recovered after three hours due to the thick mud. "Nahirapan pa po kami muna dahil ang lagkit ng lupa. Buti na lang po at may nagpahiram ng backhoe para agarang mahukay namin yung natabunan. Hinanap po namin, di namin makita. Di matunton kung saang lugar yung talagang nadaganan yung tao kaya naghukay kami nang naghukay hanggang sa nakita namin. Lumabas yung ulo at dun namin ginamit yung mano-mano na para hindi masyadong nasalanta yung katawan (We initially had difficulty in rescuing her due to the thickness of the soil. Luckily, a backhoe was lent to us to dig through the rubble. We were not sure about the exact location of the victim so we kept on digging until we saw her head. We switched to digging manually to prevent inflicting more harm on her )," Tenorio said in a TV interview.
