OPLAN KAAGAPAY: Clothing and Water Assistance for M. Ortiz (Riveside) Fire Victims
A devastating fire on May 14, 2025 at 4:50 AM, impacted 43 families on M. Ortiz corner Borja Street (Riverside), Brgy, Washington Surigao City, displacing 70 individuals, including 30 students. In response to this tragedy, JCI Surigao North immediately mobilized to offer support.
Collaborating with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), and the Provincial Government of Surigao del Norte, JCI Surigao North provided essential relief. At the temporary evacuation center established at Brgy. Washington Gym, we distributed 6 sacks of gently used and pre-owned clothing and 2 boxes of Northern Water. This contribution aimed to address the immediate needs of those affected by the fire.
JCI Surigao North, led by 2025 LO President Atty. Krystel Grace Calderon-Buniel, remains committed to assisting these families as they navigate the challenging recovery process. We extend our heartfelt sympathy and pledge continued support in their rebuilding efforts.
