The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) National Resource and Logistics Management Bureau (NRLMB) paid a visit to DSWD Field Office Caraga’s Regional Warehouses and also visited the location for the soon-to-rise Mindanao Disaster Resource Center (MDRC) at Brgy. Pinamanculan, Butuan City, January 20, 2023.

 

The purpose of the visit is to check on the progress of the MDRC project. Currently, the lot title is being processed and will soon be funded by the Department of Budget and Management once all documentary requisites will be ready.

 

NRLMB Chief Administrative Officer Corazon Macaraeg was accompanied by DSWD Field Office Caraga’s Disaster Response Management Division (DRMD) Chief Melanie Juan, together with DRMD staff Rene Solon, and Engineer Raul Sabandal.

 

The team visited the Butuan City Mayor’s Office and was accommodated by City Administrator Atty. Joseph Ian Sabado on behalf of Mayor Ronnie V. Lagnada who happened to be attending an equally important event.

 

Mayor Lagnada extends his total support in the establishment of the MDRC here in the City. LGU Butuan is grateful and feels privileged for being chosen as the Agency’s MDRC site.

 

Once operational, MDRC relief augmentation and other disaster-response-related roles would be swifter and accessible even to the nearby regions in Mindanao.
