The Malabon City government on Wednesday, August 13, announced ongoing relief distribution, mobile services, and flood control efforts for residents affected by the recent typhoon and heavy flooding.

Mayor Jeannie Sandoval assured the public that assistance will continue to reach every affected household while the city sustains flood mitigation operations and prepares for possible incoming storms.

"Makasisiguro po ang bawat residente at pamilya na naapektuhan ng nakaraang bagyo at pagbabaha na ilalapit po natin ang tulong sa kanila. Patuloy po ang distribusyon ng relief goods sa mga pamilya sa komunidad. Ito ay para sa kapakanan ng mga pamilya habang nagpapatuloy ang mga operasyon laban sa pagbabaha at ang mga paghahanda kung sakaling may bagong bagyo na dumating (Every resident and family affected by the recent typhoon and flooding can be assured that we will bring assistance to them. The distribution of relief goods to families in the community is ongoing. This is for the welfare of the families while flood control operations continue and preparations are made in case another typhoon arrives),” she said.

The city’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) said that 2,927 residents have benefited from the Key Mobile Jeannie Services (KMJS) program.

The initiative provides mobile showers, laundry and charging stations, toilets, and on-site health care.

The city’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) reported that 2,927 residents have benefited from the Key Mobile Jeannie Services (KMJS) program, which offers mobile showers, laundry and charging stations, toilets, and on-site health care.

Under the “Lusog” cluster, 2,317 residents received free medical services—including X-rays, consultations, and meals through the Mobile Kitchen.

The “Ligtas” cluster assisted 385 individuals in rescue and emergency operations with help from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), police, fire bureau, and Philippine Red Cross.

Meanwhile, the “Linis” cluster also conducted cleanup drives and sanitation operations in 125 locations, including schools, parks, and major roads such as F. Sevilla Boulevard and P. Aquino Avenue. Forty-eight people used the mobile showers, while 53 availed of laundry and charging services.

The City Social Welfare and Development Department (CSWDD) has started distributing 80,000 relief boxes from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to affected barangays. Each box contains 60 kilos of rice, canned goods, coffee, and a chocolate cereal drink. This follows relief operations after typhoons Dante and Emong.

A total of 1,169 families, or 4,258 residents, stayed in 26 evacuation centers during the height of the storms, with the MDRRMO delivering more than 7,000 food packs and hygiene kits.

Sandoval added that the city is coordinating with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to complete the repair of the Navotas Navigational Gate, damaged in May.

"Hindi po tayo titigil hangga’t hindi natitiyak na ligtas, maayos, at may sapat na tulong ang bawat Malabueno. Tututukan po natin ang isinasagawang pagsasaayos ng Navigational Gate at ihahanda ang lahat ng kailangang kagamitan para maging handa sa kalamidad. Patuloy po tayong magsasama-sama upang mapaghandaan ang anumang sakuna (We will not stop until we are certain that every Malabueno is safe, well-assisted, and protected from disaster,” she said. “We will closely monitor the Navigational Gate repair and prepare all necessary equipment for emergencies. Together, we will be ready for any calamity)," the mayor added.

The city government reiterated its commitment to ensuring no family is left behind in recovery efforts.
