Over 3k residents affected by flooding in Davao Oriental receive help from GMA Kapuso Foundation

GMA Kapuso Foundation traveled all the way to Barangay Limot in Tarragona, Davao Oriental to deliver aid to over 3,000 residents affected by the recent flooding.

According to “24 Oras,” Wednesday, Barangay Limot was isolated for a few days because of a broken bridge.

“Malaki talaga ang epekto kasi ang tulay na ‘yan, ‘yun ang entrance pati exit ng mga produkto dito sa amin,” Barangay Captain Cancio Serafin said.

The livelihoods of farmers were also greatly affected.

“Hindi pa namin inakala na ‘yung lebel ng tubig [ay] tataas. Apektado kasi saan ka man, ano man ‘yung tingnan sa ‘yo ng buyer kung wala kang niyog, nabawasan ‘yung kilo. Sa saging, nabawasan din,” said Gil Loguinsa, one of those affected by the flooding.

Under Operation Bayanihan, GMA Kapuso Foundation delivered aid to over 3,000 residents.

“Nakaabot po kayo dito. Natulungan niyo ang mga tao dito sa Limot. Ako po ay nagpapasalamat,” Loguinsa said.

For those who are interested to help, the GMA Kapuso Foundation is accepting donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
