The C130 of the Philippine Airforce delivered the goods to Virac Catanduanes.The field office also loaded 5,100 food packs to two wing vans that will deliver it to Region 8 tonight to also provide food for the victims of Nina.

The food packs were produced by the DSWD’s Visayas Disaster Response Cente located in Mandaue City.
