GENERAL LUNA, Quezon – Fisher folks and their families who were affected by typhoon Carina in this town were provided by the local government with family food packs delivered on Friday, July 26.

Mayor Matt Erwin Florido handed them to the fishermen of Barangay San Isidro Ibaba, Poblacion 1, 8, Bacong Ibaba, Bacong Ilaya, and Sta. Maria Ibaba all coastal villages in this town as relief assistance of the government after he coordinated with the Department of Social Welfare and Development office.

The fishermen were not allowed to go fishing because of bad weather brought by typhoons Carina and Habagat.

“Dahil sa masamang panahon, malakas ang dagat at epekto ng bagyong Carina, sa mga nakalipas na araw at hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay hindi pa rin sila nakakalaot sa dagat upang makapangisda”, Florido said.

He reminded the fishermen to stay for the meantime at home until the sea condition is back to normal, also he expressed thanks to the DSWD for the support.
