Food distribution continues for the remaining evacuees affected by the floods caused by the southwest monsoon (habagat). This afternoon, dinner was successfully delivered to the following barangays: Molino 3, Niog, PF Espiritu 2, and Sinbanali. The City Government of Bacoor, led by Mayor Strike Revilla, continues to provide aid and care for residents displaced by the severe weather.
Ongoing Relief Operations for Displaced Families
The City Government of Bacoor, through its City Social Welfare and Development Office and the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, has been actively distributing food assistance to families affected by the Habagat-induced flooding. According to data from the Bacoor DRRMO, as of August 9, 2026, a total of 931 families, or 3,172 individuals, were staying in 44 evacuation centers across the city. Since heavy rains from the southwest monsoon have been affecting Cavite since early August, the city government has been coordinating relief efforts to ensure that displaced families receive adequate food and water supplies. Earlier this month, the city also announced the suspension of face-to-face classes and a cut-off in its ₱20 rice distribution program due to high demand, reflecting the severity of the monsoon's impact on daily life.
The distribution of hot meals to barangays Molino 3, Niog, PF Espiritu 2, and Sinbanali demonstrates the city government's commitment to providing nutritious food to evacuees. This initiative aligns with national standards for disaster response, where hot meals and ready-to-eat food are often provided to supplement family food packs to meet the nutritional needs of displaced persons. The City Government of Bacoor has also coordinated with other government agencies and rescue units to ensure that assistance reaches the most affected communities.
Coordination and Emergency Response
Mayor Strike B. Revilla has been leading the city's disaster response, working closely with the City Social Welfare and Development Office and the Bacoor DRRMO to coordinate relief efforts. As early as August 5, the city government had already made preparations to address the impact of the heavy rains, including suspension of classes and monitoring of evacuation centers. The city's disaster response teams have been on standby to assist residents in need.
For emergency assistance, residents are encouraged to contact the Bacoor DRRMO or coordinate with their barangay officials. The city government continues to monitor weather conditions and will provide updates as needed. Residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas are advised to stay alert and follow instructions from local authorities.
