Samal, Bataan—Thirty-four families victimized by a fire in Samal town received sari-sari store packages from the Department of Trade and Industry in Bataan on Monday.

“Each family received a sari-sari store package worth P10,000,” said DTI Provincial Nelin Cabahug during a simple ceremony held at covered court of Brgy. East Calaguiman, Samal.

“We hope the assistance will help them in little way to start anew,” she said.

The assistance was funded from Senator Bong Go’s “Pangkabuhayan sa Pagbangon at Ginhawa” program.

The houses of the victims were gutted by fire a month ago in Brgy. West Calaguiman, Samal.
