According to Philippines News Agency, Leilanie Bolivar, Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office social welfare officer, stated that all 16,414 families were each given a family food pack (FFP) by their respective local governments. Additionally, the provincial government provided 74 food packs to evacuees housed at the provincial evacuation center in Lingayen, with 20,000 FFPs ready for augmentation to local government units upon request. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) 1 (Ilocos) has prepositioned 75,411 family food packs and 9,695 non-food items for the latest weather disturbance, including 6,207 family food packs and 656 non-food items in its satellite warehouse in Pangasinan. In a separate interview, Pia Flores, Pangasinan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduc tion and Management Office (PDRRMO) Emergency Operation Center assistant director, noted that most evacuees have returned home, except those in Dagupan City, which remains flooded. Flores also reported the clearing of a landslide in Malico, San Nicolas town, making one lane of the road passable. Two houses were destroyed in Basista town, and 86 were damaged across several towns due to fallen trees. Flores mentioned that the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) is coordinating with local government units for the Emergency Shelter Assistance Program for residents whose houses suffered damage. The PDRRMO recorded PHP11 million worth of damage to mango and other fruit trees and vegetables, with further reports from LGUs still awaited. The regional offices of the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) are conducting validation of damage in the agriculture and fishery sectors, providing buffer seeds and preparing fingerlings for affected fa rmers and fisherfolk. Despite fair weather and no gale warnings, fisherfolk were discouraged from setting sail due to high sea waves. The PDRRMO continues to monitor major river systems, as water levels are increasing due to upstream inflow. No casualties have been reported in the province, Flores confirmed.
