A total 125 typhoon-affected families from Sitio Padilla, Malasin, Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya, received much-needed relief during an outreach program organized by the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources in partnership with OceanaGold Philippines Inc. (OGPI).

Each family was provided with food packs, including five kilos of rice and essential groceries.

Punong Barangay Jean Gonzales thanked the DENR and OGPI for their swift action and continued support for the community’s recovery.

OGPI currently operates the Didipio gold-copper mine in the province. Gold production in the mine reached 49,200 ounces in the first half of the year.
