What the State of Calamity Means
With the state of calamity in effect, the city government can now:
- Tap the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund
- Expand transport subsidies for affected sectors
- Provide support to businesses and residents
- Ensure essential services continue
Background
Baguio City has been struggling with rising fuel prices for weeks. The local council previously approved the opening of the city's emergency quick response fund to address the crisis.
Note: This is part of a larger national issue with fuel prices. Earlier this week, a diesel rollback was announced for next week, which may bring some relief to affected areas.
Looking Ahead
The city government is working on solutions to help residents and businesses cope with the crisis. The state of calamity declaration will allow for faster response and resource allocation.
Stay strong, Baguio! 💙
