Good evening!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Almost the whole morning, we experienced rains in Gingoog City. Despite that, however, we decided to push through with our plans of distributing relief to the barangays of Sangalan and Eureka.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Early morning meeting<\/b><\/h4>\n
Early this morning, we met up with Sir Marlon Pajo of the Gingoog CDRRMC and Barangay Captain Rogelyn Virtudazo of Barangay Sangalan. Sir Marlon was able to give us updates on relief distribution by the LGU and other organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. Cap Rogelyn showed us photographs of landslides and broken roads in their area. She said that the barangays of Sangalan and Eureka have been having a difficult time accessing food due to the damaged roads, and the high river water levels. She also specified that Sitio Tabon-tabon was having difficulty accessing potable drinking water. (Most of the other areas have springs where residents could source their water.)<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Relief Distribution<\/b><\/h4>\n
We were able to distribute the following relief goods:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Barangay Sangalan: 295 food packs (+ 36 bottles of Tubig Mindanaw for Sitio Tabon-tabon)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Barangay Eureka: 295 food packs<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Together with this distribution were relief goods for Eureka from the LGU. (Sangalan had already received relief from the LGU the previous day.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Again, we would like to thank the 58th IB and the CDRRMC for the logistical support. We would also like to thank the volunteers who helped repack these goods yesterday. Finally ,we would also like to thank the community themselves for helping transport the goods through the difficult roads into their barangay, as well as for being very organized during the relief distribution.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Recommendations<\/b><\/h4>\n
For now, the current team is pulling out of Gingoog City. However, we do have the following recommendations based on our assessment of the communities we have visited and provided relief to (namely: Punong, Kamanikan, Bal-ason, Sangalan and Eureka). These recommendations apply to us (as relief providers), the LGU, and to other stakeholders in the development and security of the city.<\/div>\n
