According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez (Leyte, 1st District), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will distribute P10 million in financial aid to each congressional district.

The funds will assist residents whose homes were flooded, families who have been displaced and others affected by Crising and torrential monsoon rains.

Apart from financial aid, relief packs have been prepared for distribution. Some House members have also mobilized their offices to serve hot meals to evacuees taking shelter in schools, covered courts and temporary facilities across Metro Manila.
