CEBU CITY Officials turned over a PI Million check to City Mayor Salvador G. Escalante, Jr and City Vice Mayor Samson C. Mirhan last February 4, 2009 in a ceremony held at Cebu Sangguniang Panlungsod Hall.
Nine months ago, super typhoon “Frank” mercilessly whopped Cadiz leaving 48 fishermen dead, 82 persons missing and many seriously wounded. Massive damage to agriculture and crops was estimated to have reached 195 million pesos; the fishing industry suffered a shattering loss of almost 80% due to wrecks of fishing vessels and incapacitation of the fishermen.
Neighboring provinces were astounded with the fate of the Cadiznons that they too have felt a compelling sentience which moves them to a sense of commitment.
Cebu City officials headed by City Mayor Tomas R Osmeña and City Vice Mayor Michael L. Rama extended a financial assistance to the City of Cadiz in the amount of One Million Pesos. The check “is intended to provide assistance to the victims particularly to the widows and the families of those who perished”.
The Sangguniang Panlungsod of Cadiz City in its regular session assembled on motion of Councilor Wilfredo F. Cervantes which was duly seconded en masse enacted SP Resolution No. 2009-09 expressing gratitude and appreciation to the City of Cebu, thru its city officials headed by City Mayor Tomas R. Osmeña and City Vice Mayor Michael L. Rama for extending assistance to the City of Cadiz in the amount of One Million Pesos for the victims of typhoon “Frank”./*
