ARAYAT – Displaced families in Barangay Cupang this town who were made beneficiaries of P25-K yesterday extended their gratitude to the provincial government for giving them opportunity to start a new life.
Leticia Teodoro, a resident-beneficiary, disclosed that at first they were hesitant to leave their houses despite the impending danger every time the water level in Pampanga River is increasing due to downpour of heavy rains.
However, she added, with the financial assistance provided by the provincial government through Governor Lilia Pineda, they are now ready to leave their houses to give way to the rehabilitation of Arayat-Apalit set back levee along the portion of Cupang.
It can be noted that there were 12 families identified by the barangay officials of Cupang as directly affected with the scoured portion of Arayat-Apalit set back levee here.
Some of them were Maybilyn Reyes, Lucia Salac, Jomar Aquino and Roselyn Sombillo among others.
