The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through its Field Office 5 (Bicol Region), provided financial assistance to some 1,899 disaster-hit individuals in the region through the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program.
The AICS beneficiaries were residents of the provinces of Masbate and Camarines Sur who were adversely affected by Typhoons Egay and Falcon in July, according to Donna Osial, the AICS Head of the DSWD Bicol Region.
