Davao: The city government dispatched 16 trucks carrying food packs and medicines to Cebu province Wednesday to assist communities affected by Typhoon Tino (international name Kalmaegi). CDRRMO head Alfredo Baloran said the convoy carries approximately 4,000 food packs, 2,000 bottles of drinking water, and assorted medicines for typhoon-affected residents.

According to Philippines News Agency, 'Same with what we did before, we will bring the relief goods to Cebu for the typhoon-affected residents,' Baloran said in an interview Wednesday. The city will also provide PHP3.9 million in financial assistance to Cebu province, Bogo City, and eight municipalities hardest hit by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake on Sept. 30.

Last month, Davao City deployed 57 personnel, including medical staff, social workers, and disaster responders to support earthquake-affected areas in Cebu, along with 5,000 food packs, 5,000 bottles of water, and 30 boxes of medicine.
