SAN PEDRO CITY – A lawmaker from San Pedro City in Laguna attended to the needs of more than two barangays heavily affected by the floods caused by the torrential rains unleashed by Super Typhoon “Carina.”
A day after the burial of her father, fiscal Rene Garcia, on Wednesday, Rep. Ann Matibag of San Pedro extended immediate aid to residents of Carmen Homes at barangay San Antonio and Sitio Kangkungan South Fairways Homes at barangay Landayan.
“That’s what my father really taught me since when I was a young public servant, to be more accessible to the people as an elected government official especially during times like this,” Matibag said.
“My father told me that at any given situation, time or place, you have to serve your people 24/7.”
Matibag and her staff went to the Rosario Complex to provide 66 individuals coming from 16 displaced families from Sitio Kangkungan with food, water, coffee and cash assistance while treating children to hot meals.
Her husband, Melvin Matibag, also went to Carmen Homes to give cash assistance from their family’s own pocket to affected residents.
