A total of P5,024,000 in multipurpose cash grants were distributed by the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) to 628 beneficiaries in the municipality of Moises Padilla on Tuesday, April 7.
The distribution was held at the Central Philippine State University – Moises Padilla Campus, led by the PRC in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross. The initiative forms part of the PRC’s Cash for Relief Program for communities affected by Typhoon Tino, a press release from Moises Padilla said.
Mayor Ella Garcia Yulo welcomed the PRC delegation headed by Carlos Ganihong, chairman of the Board of Directors of the PRC Negros Occidental Chapter, along with Rita Benita Mirasol, Administrator of PRC Negros Occidental.

To ensure proper beneficiary selection, the PRC—working closely with local communities—conducted thorough assessments and targeting to identify families most in need of assistance.
