More support bared for Alacre family

• GILBERT P. BAYORAN

More blessings are to be expected by the siblings and family of the late Negrense caregiver Loreta Villarin Alacre, who was killed when Hamas militant fighters attacked Israel on October 7.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development joined the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and Department of Migrant Worker in extending financial assistance to the family of Alacre, by also giving financial assistance of P50,000, said Katherine Joy Malagad Lamprea, the DWSD Field Office 6 Protective Services Division chief.

OWWA, which shouldered the funeral expenses of Alacre, and DMW, also gave P50,000 each, aside from P500,000 from Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, to the siblings of Alacre, whose remains lie at her home in Sitio Camay-an, Brgy. Cadiz Viejo, Cadiz City.

The Department of Labor and Employment also assured a livelihood package to the dependents of Alacre.

Alacre is slated to be buried on November 5 at a public cemetery in Brgy. Caduha-an, Cadiz City.

After she is laid to rest, Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson yesterday said that he will sit down with the Alacre family to ask “what do they need,” noting that many are coming out to help them.

Cadiz City Mayor Salvador Escalante disclosed on Tuesday that OWWA also assured full scholarship grants to the four nephews and nieces of the slain OFW, whose education she financed while she was still alive.

The newly built Cadiz City Evacuation Center within Cadiz Viejo National High School in Brgy. Cadiz Viejo, Cadiz City, is to be named the Loreta V. Alacre Evacuation Center, in honor of its alumna’s “heroism” for 19 years as Overseas Filipino Worker, from Taiwan to Israel, within the period of 2002 to 2023, Escalante said.

This act, according to the mayor, will serve as a lasting remembrance of her bravery and selflessness, ensuring that future generations will learn about her remarkable story.*
