Warehouses still full of rice buffer stocks —NFA

The National Food Authority (NFA) on Saturday said that warehouses across the country remain full of rice buffer stocks, despite the series of storms that hit the country last week. "Hindi pa din substantially nabababawasn ang ating stock sa mga bodega," said NFA Administrator Larry Lacson in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB. (Our stock in the warehouses has not been substantially reduced.) "Even dumating ang mga bagyo lahat yan ay pinaghahandaan natin. Meron man na-damage dalawa lang. Sa Alaminos, Pangasinan at isa naman sa La Union," added Lacson. (Even when the typhoons hit, we were prepared for them. There were only two that were damaged: one in Alaminos, Pangasinan, and one in La Union.) Lacson also said that the NFA has enough stocks to last for 12 days. That amounts to 452,000 of palay or around 9 million sacks of rice. "Sa kadahilanan na ang pumpasok na mga palay na binibili natin sa magsasaka ay mas madami kesa dun sa mga lumalabas na bigas natin," said Lacson. (That's because the amount of rice we buy from farmers is more than the amount of rice we export.) Meanwhile, the NFA administrator also bared plans of putting up Kadiwa stores in every NFA warehouse soon. Lacson said that this will also benefit farmers, as they could now go to more places to sell their palay. "Sa mga warehouse mismo ni NFA maglalagay ang DA ng kadiwa ng Panagulo. Umpisa po sa Region 1 and Region 3, they slowly, rollout po sa other regions," explained Lacson. (The DA will place Kadiwa stores in NFA warehouses. It will first open in Region 1 and Reg 3.) A total of 7,685,943 people or 2,121,645 families have been affected by Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat in all regions except Eastern Visayas. The region with the most number of affected individuals was Central Luzon with 2,820,250. The extent of damage from Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat was reported at P10,080,789,951 for infrastructure, P1,961,211,507 for agriculture, P281,660,000 for irrigation systems. —VAL, GMA Integrated News

4,000 individuals in La Union affected by inclement weather receive aid from GMA Kapuso Foundation

Four thousand individuals in Bauang, La Union, who were affected by the inclement weather in the past few weeks have received aid from GMA Kapuso Foundation through its Operation Bayanihan project. According to "24 Oras" Friday, among the beneficiaries of the project are husband and wife Paulo and Erlinda Hipol, whose house was devastated by the strong winds and rains. "Itong bagyo lang ho ang talagang naranasan ko talaga, siya ang nagpabagsak ng bahay ko," said Paulo. Paulo's life was also put at risk when a part of their collapsed house pinned him down. The couple has patched up wood scraps and iron sheets for temporary shelter, but food remains scarce. They have not yet returned to work selling fish because the fishermen have been unable to go out to sea. "Ang panawagan ko lang sa kanila, kung meron silang maitutulong sa akin, maski ano, tanggapin ko, maipatayo ko lang ang bahay ko," said Paulo. GMA Kapuso Foundation distributed relief goods and bread to the 4,000 individuals in Bauang, La Union. The residents were also given hygiene kits that were donated by a sponsor. "Marami po 'yung nasirang bahay, 'yung mga hanapbahay ng tao, hindi sila makapaghanapbuhay dahil malakas pa din ang alon. We are very grateful po sa GMA Kapuso Foundation," said Arlie Alonzo of MSWDO - Bauang, La Union For those who wish to support GMA Kapuso Foundation's projects, donations may be made via Metrobank, Land Bank, BDO, Bank of Commerce, UnionBank, PNB, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Lazada, and Shopee. Visit the GMA Kapuso Foundation website for more information. According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on Thursday, the number of reported fatalities due to the impact of Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) is now at 37. Due to the inclement weather, a state of calamity was declared in 241 cities and municipalities. Approximately P763 million worth of assistance has been provided to those affected by the typhoons and Habagat, per the NDRRMC. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
