The financial grant will be used to provide housing projects in Loboc and Talibon and evacuation centers in Pres. Carlos P. Garcia and Ubay.

Aumentado thanked the OP for the financial assistance given to the province of Bohol.

"Mapasalamaton kita sa ayuda gikan sa kagamhanang nasyonal, sa suporta sa Provincial Shelter Cluster Core Team ug sa tanang nagbudlay ani kay tungod sa pagtinabangay nahimong reyalidad ang atong gihandum nga tabang. Ang kanhi administrasyon kabahin usab niini (We are grateful for the help from the national government, the support from the Provincial Shelter Cluster Core Team and all those who are working hard because of the cooperation that our desired help has become a reality. The former administration is also part of this)," Aumentado said.
