Twelve cooperative members received assistance following a fire incident on March 5 that destroyed their bunkhouse in Barangay Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. The blaze – allegedly caused by a nearby welding work – quickly spread through the newly built structure, resulting in the loss of personal belongings and important documents.

“Kasama sa nasunog po ang mga ID's pati ang registration ko ng motor. Kaya naantala ang pagpasok ko sa trabaho, sapagkat kung gagamitin ko ang motor nang walang dalang registration paper, mahirap na at baka mahuli ako. Kaya malaking tulong po itong assistance dahil maibibili namin ng gamit at maipoproseso ko rin ang motor registration,” shared Gilbert Caway.

Christopher Ogis expressed a similar concern, as his valid identification cards were also among the items destroyed in the fire.

Ms. Iris Corpuz, Asiapro Operations Head, reassured the members that the Cooperative remains supportive during unexpected events and hopes the assistance will help them recover.

The one-time shelter assistance was provided through Asiapro Cooperative Social Responsibility's Kaagapay Program.
