The Diocese of Surigao Social Action Center Justice and Peace (DSAC) has distributed 11 more fishing boats to families in the San Vicente Chapel - Brgy Aurora, Inahan sa Kanunayng Panabang Chapel - Brgy Bilabid, San Rafael Chapel - Brgy Lipata, Santo Nino Chapel - Bgry Libuac, and in San Vicente Ferrer Chapel - Brgy Canturok, all in the jurisdiction of Surigao City.
Along with the 10 fishing boats previously distributed last March, this means the DSAC has now crossed the halfway mark of the 39 boats whose construction they have ordered for fisher families affected by Supertyphoon Odette.
Tanging Yaman Foundation has committed P1,950,000 for fishing boats to help restore livelihoods in Odette-damaged communities in Surigao.
