More than a thousand hungry people who survived the devastation of super typhoon “Pablo” ransacked the regional office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Davao City to protest against the slow distribution of relief goods.
The protesters were demanding the release of 10,000 sacks of rice intended for distribution to typhoon victims in the provinces of Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley.
Some 3,000 food packs, 600 boxes of noodles, 300 boxes of coffee, and several boxes of sardines were taken.
The crowd became really uncontrollable which caused the injury of several protesters, including a young girl and a news photographer.
