Aid to Fire Victims Continues: Promise Fulfilled for Barangay 21-C Survivors

DAVAO CITY — Help continues to pour in for families displaced by the massive fire that swept through Barangay 21-C, Piapi Boulevard, with First District Representative Paolo Duterte swiftly fulfilling his promise of additional support to survivors.

On Sunday, October 5, Rep. Duterte personally visited the evacuation center, meeting residents who had lost homes, belongings, and a sense of normalcy. Deeply moved by their stories, he assured the families that help was coming — not just in words, but in practical aid to help them begin again.

True to his word, on Monday, Acting Vice Mayor Rigo Duterte returned to the covered court now serving as a temporary shelter to deliver the promised relief.

Together with the congressman’s staff and volunteers, Rigo distributed complete cooking sets — each containing a kaldero (pot), karahay (frying pan), luwag (ladle), and takuri (kettle) — along with meal packs and cash assistance.

A total of 278 households received the sets and financial aid, lining up patiently inside the gym-turned-shelter where rows of green emergency tents have housed displaced residents since the blaze.

Barangay officials and volunteers expressed gratitude for the Duterte family’s swift and hands-on response, saying the assistance provided not just material help but also comfort and hope to residents who lost everything in the fire. Survivors shared that even simple tools to cook a warm meal again make a big difference as they start rebuilding their lives.

The fire, which erupted on October 2, razed hundreds of homes and displaced more than a thousand residents. Authorities are still investigating its cause, while the city government and national agencies work to provide long-term support for affected families.

Since the tragedy, the 1st Congressional Office, in partnership with the Offices of the Vice Mayor, City Mayor, and Vice President, has been extending aid — from food and household essentials to psychosocial activities for children, helping them cope with the trauma by offering moments of play and relief amid loss.

For the fire-hit families of Barangay 21-C, the quick fulfillment of a promise — made on Sunday and delivered by Monday — was a spark of hope in their journey toward recovery.

Rep. Paolo Duterte Brings Swift, Hands-On Aid to Fire Victims in Davao City

DAVAO CITY — First Congressional District Representative Paolo Duterte personally visited families displaced by the devastating fire that swept through Barangay 21-C, Piapi Boulevard, bringing with him not only relief goods but also a message of hope and solidarity.

The fire, which broke out on the evening of October 2, reached the fourth alarm, razed more than 100 houses, and displaced hundreds of residents. Authorities said the cause of the blaze is still under investigation by the Bureau of Fire Protection.

Rep. Duterte, accompanied by his staff, went to the affected area on Sunday, October 5 to oversee the ongoing relief operations and directly extend assistance to the victims.

During the visit, Rep. Duterte distributed food packs, relief goods, and Personal Clothing and Bedding (PCB) kits to affected households. Each PCB kit contained:
• 2 blankets
• 2 towels
• 3 brassieres
• 6 pairs of panties
• 6 pairs of adult briefs
• Additional clothing sets for children

A total of 179 house owners, 87 sharers, six renters, and six boarders benefited from the relief distribution.

To ensure children could return to school as soon as possible, Duterte’s team also provided school supply kits tailored to each child’s grade level. Each kit included an envelope with a folder, three notebooks, one pad of paper, three ballpens, and three pencils.

Healing Through Joy for Young Survivors

Understanding the emotional toll disasters take on children, Rep. Duterte’s office organized an entertainment and healing program for around 200 young survivors.

The event featured a magician and clown show, fun games, toy giveaways, and kiddie meals. A special Jollibee appearance delighted the children, helping lift spirits and ease trauma after losing their homes.

“We want to ease the pain and trauma that the children and their families are experiencing after the fire. This is also to show them that the community stands with them as they recover and rebuild their lives," Rep. Duterte said.
Parents expressed heartfelt thanks to Rep. Duterte’s office, saying the activity not only provided material help but also gave their children a much-needed moment of happiness despite their loss.

Swift Response From Day One

Just hours after the fire broke out, Rep. Duterte’s office had already sent mineral water, biscuits, bananas, fresh milk, wheelchairs, and pillows to evacuation centers.

Since October 3, his team has been providing daily meal packs and hot porridge with boiled eggs to affected residents — an effort that will continue until at least October 8.

Rep. Duterte also assured families that his office is coordinating with barangay officials and social welfare agencies to ensure sustained support for those rebuilding their lives.

The ongoing relief and recovery efforts underscore Rep. Paolo Duterte’s hands-on leadership and compassion, showing Dabawenyos that help comes swiftly and sincerely when disaster strikes.

According to the Davao City Police Office (DCPO), the suspect’s unusual behavior prompted officers to conduct a search, which led to the discovery of several sachets of the illegal substance concealed around his waist. He is now facing charges for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act (RA 9165).
