Relief operations were launched immediately following the fire, with affected families receiving Department of Social Welfare and Development family food packs, hygiene kits, sleeping kits, and half a sack of rice each from the district office.
A financial assistance package of P10,000 per affected family is also being prepared for distribution on May 14, according to officials.
