A total of P1 million will be given to local governments affected by tropical cyclone Marce, of which P750,000 will go to Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte and P250,000 to Gonzaga in Cagayan.

A total of P6,250,000 will also be given to 12 LGUs affected by the combined effects of tropical cyclones Nika, Ofel, and Pepito. These areas include Maddela in Quirino, Santiago in Isabela, and Virac in Catanduanes with P1 million each; Baggao in Cagayan, Dilasag in Aurora, Caramoan and Viga in Catanduanes with P500,000 each; and Dingalan in Aurora, Licab in Nueva Ecija, Bagamanoc, Bato, and Panganiban in Catanduanes with P250,000 each.

“The City of Makati recognizes the continuing need for financial support among localities severely damaged by strong typhoons. They need all the help they can get to recover and rebuild,” the mayor said.
