DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao: Ang DSWD ay nakapag-augment na ng family food packs and non-food items sa MIMAROPA, Regions VI, VII, VII, IX, X, XII and Caraga

DSWD says if they are unable to reach certain places, they send aid to staging areas where LGUs can pick up the items

DSWD says private shipping companies also help send out these relief items

DSWD says once they receive reports of a community that has not received aid, they relay it to DSWD field offices in charge of the area so help can reach these places

DSWD: Yung ating pondo na nagkakahalaga ng mahigit ₱900 million na binubuo ng ating stand by funds at yung ating stockpiles, yan ang kasalukuyang ginagamit sa disaster response

DSWD says as the new year comes in, they will be able to access their 2022 budget: At ito po ay makakatulong as we continue dahil hindi natatapos ang pagtulong

DSWD on how much has been released for #OdettePH relief efforts: Gaya po ng nabanggit ko, mahigit ₱36 million na po diyan at kalahati ng amount na yan ay nanggaling na po as augmentation support ng DSWD

DSWD says they are still finalizing how many people have received aid so far

DSWD says some areas have not submitted reports because communication lines are still down
