Relief goods were prepositioned in Tacloban City and seven municipalities in Leyte ahead of Typhoon "Tino's" landfall in the province at midnight Tuesday, Nov. 4.
This was bared by the offices of former Houee Speaker Martin Romualdez of Leyte’s 1st district and Tingog Party-list on late Monday night as the province braced for heavy rains and strong winds.
The prepositioned relief items were seen to ensure immediate support for families, many of which lived through the horrors brought by Super Typhoon "Yolanda" some 12 years ago.
Romualdez said Tingog Party-list personnel and volunteers delivered initial stocks to Palo, Tanauan, Tolosa, Sta. Fe, Alang-alang, San Miguel, and Babatngon as part of the group’s preparedness efforts.
“Preparedness remains a top priority to protect vulnerable communities, especially in coastal and low-lying barangays,” the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) president said.
“We want every family to be ready and no one left struggling when bad weather comes,” added Romualdez.
Tingog said releif goods composed of noodles, sardines, biscuits, coffee, Energen, and rice were delivered to the towns of Palo, Tanauan, Alang-alang, Tolosa, Sta. Fe, San Miguel, and Babatngon.
The party-list said the relief effort is part of a broader preparedness initiative, with a total of 15,000 kilograms of rice already prepositioned for deployment should the situation escalate.
Relief supplies prepared also include 110 boxes of noodles, 80 boxes of sardines, 20 boxes of Energen, 25 boxes of biscuits, and 80 boxes of coffee.
The team also began distributing hot meals to evacuees arriving at various evacuation centers in Tacloban City on Monday afternoon as part of its ongoing relief and readiness operations.
The food distribution aims to provide comfort and sustenance to families seeking temporary shelter due to bad weather, Tingog said.
As of Monday night, about 3,000 hot meals had been served to evacuees in Tacloban, according to Tingog.
The group added that the feeding operation will continue Tuesday in the city and nearby towns to ensure that displaced residents receive warm meals and immediate support during the weather disturbance.
Tingog Party-list is represented in the House of Representatives by Reps. Yedda Romualdez, Andrew Julian Romualdez, and Jude Acidre.
