In the spirit of Bayanihan, the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) extended financial and in-kind assistance to the victims of flooding in Cagayan on November 22, 2020.
On behalf of Gov. Francisco Emmanuel “Pacoy” R. Ortega III, Executive Assistant IV Justo Orros III and the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office turned over to Cagayan Gov. Manuel Mamba the La Union’s financial assistance amounting to Php200,000.00 to the province and Php100,000.00 was also turned over to the towns of Baggao, Enrile, Aparri and Santo Niño in Cagayan which are requiring additional relief assistance as per the province’s assessment. PGLU’s financial assistance was approved by virtue of Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution No. 1252-2020. Php100,000.00 was also turned over to the province from the Municipality of San Juan, La Union.
Through the PGLU’s “With Love, La Union; Sharing our Blessings Program,” donations from residents, PGLU employees, and La Union stakeholders were gathered and turned over on the same day. A six-wheeler truck contained assorted goods and water, medicines, hygiene kits, and other relief goods.
The Province of Cagayan was gravely hit by flooding as an effect of the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses. True to the province’s name, La Union gives high regards to unity. Thus, we continue to give assistance to other provinces in need.
