A total of P46 million in checks was distributed. The aid distribution took place on Friday morning, March 1, at Casa Real de Iloilo. Municipal mayors, disaster risk reduction officers, and treasurers were present to receive the aid. Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. spearheaded the event, with support from Cornelio Salinas, the chief of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, and Raul Banias, the provincial administrator. The occasion also featured the signing of Memoranda of Agreement, which formalized partnerships and underscored a shared commitment to the safety and resilience of the communities. “This reflects our collective commitment to building resilience and preparedness against potential challenges in our communities,” said Salinas. Governor Defensor said the assistance is intended to bridge the gap in disaster risk reduction and management systems and assets across municipalities. “The assets of one are the assets of everyone,” said Defensor. The assistance came in varied amounts depending upon the request of municipalities. The recipients were: FIRST DISTRICT * Guimbal – P1 million * Tigbauan – P1 million * Tubungan – P1 million * Igbaras – P1 million SECOND DISTRICT * Leon – P2 million * Sta.
