Mart Sambalud, the town’s Information Officer said that the mobile kitchen is part of the municipal government’s disaster response unit to provide hot meals to disaster victims.
Town Mayor Ernesto “Tatay Erning” Evangelista said the mobile kitchen will be used by the Santo Tomas Local Government Unit (LGU) during the disaster to immediately provide hot meals to the victims.
Evangelista said the mobile kitchen features a public address system, a water dispenser, a waste tank, a food burner, cabinet working table, lavatory, kitchen utensils, among others.
“Nipalit kita og bag-ong mobile kitchen para atong pakusgan ang paghatag og serbisyo sa katawhang Tomasino ilabi na sa mga disaster operasyon nato sa local government of Santo Tomas,” Evangelista said in a statement.
The mobile kitchen dubbed “Kusina Ni Tomas” will accommodate informal settlers and families in impoverished communities during disaster response operations.
Other sectors of the community are also expected to benefit from the mobile kitchen as this will be maximized to augment the operations of the Municipal Social Workers Development Office (MSWDO) and Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO).
