The Makati City government has distributed relief goods to 103 families and 306 other individuals staying at four evacuation centers due to ongoing rains and flooding in Metro Manila.
Mayor Nancy Binay personally visited the Pio del Pilar Main Elementary School to check on evacuees and assess their needs.
During the visit, Binay assured the displaced residents that the local government is monitoring the situation and is ready to provide additional support as needed. She also supervised the distribution of food, clean water, and essential supplies.
Evacuation centers were opened at San Antonio Covered Court, Bangkal Covered Court, Palanan Covered Court, and the Pio del Pilar Main Elementary School. Families were provided with modular tents, Disaster Assistance Family Access Cards (DAFAC), and ready-to-eat meals.
Health Emergency Management System teams also visited the centers to administer Doxycycline to those exposed to floodwaters, conduct health checks on senior citizens and children, and vaccinate infants and toddlers against measles, polio, and rubella.
The city government emphasized its commitment to supporting affected families and urged residents to remain alert and follow weather advisories as heavy rains continue.
Relief operations will persist until it is deemed safe for evacuees to return home.
