Mayor Dino Chua of incompetence in the release and distribution of government assistance due to stringent requirements being asked from victims of severe tropical storm Paeng.
“When I asked the village chairman about the residents of those seeking assistance, he could not tell or identify [them]. We need proof to show to the Commission on Audit,” Tulfo said. “Secretary Tulfo arrived at the San Jose evacuation center, bringing along food packs separately for the evacuation center. That is where the shortage is,” he said.
In its 6 a.m. report, the NDRRMC said only 101 of the reported deaths have been confirmed so far while the other 53 are still up for validation.
