Almost 20 families in Camacho Phase 1 and less than 10 families in Upper Bulelak Street were reportedly affected by the separate fire incidents. The families were given grocery packs, woven mats (banig), pillows, and blankets, and sleeping kits from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The children were given bags and notebooks so they could continue their school activities. Hygiene kits as well as milk for babies and diapers were also given to families with infants. Financial assistance, amounting to around P20,000, was distributed to each family. (Marikina PIO / MANILA BULLETIN)
Mayor Teodoro said the families will also be provided with construction materials including cement, iron sheets for roofing (yero), wood, and other items in order for the families to rebuild their homes as soon as possible. "Alam naming hindi sapat ang tulong na aming ibibigay subalit maaaring makatulong ito kahit papaano sa pagsisimulang muli (We know the help we are giving you is not enough, but we hope it will help you restart your lives),” said Rep. Teodoro. "Kahit anong masamang pangyayari ang dumating sa ating pamilya, ang mahalaga ay hindi tayo nawawalan ng pag-asa sa ating mga puso. Huwag din sana nating kalilimutan na ang pamilya ang mahalaga. Ang importante ay magkakasama-sama (No matter what bad things happen to our family, it’s important that we not lose hope. Let’s also not forget the importance of families. It’s important that you are together)," said Mayor Teodoro. In return, the beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the local government for the aid, as well as the swift response of the city’s emergency teams. (Marikina PIO / MANILA BULLETIN)
According to Marikina Rescue 161, the fire in Camacho Phase 1 occurred at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, May 9, while the fire in Upper Bulelak Street happened last Friday, May 5, at around 8 p.m. The fires reached the first alarm, but probers quickly extinguished both fires after only 30 minutes, said the PIO. No fatalities and casualties were reported in the two incidents.
