Vitamins, antibiotics, vaccines and dewormers will also be available for livestock and poultry in the Cagayan Valley.
The DA said it will also speed up the liberalization of fuel subsidies and financial assistance to rice farmers for the affected areas and the withdrawal of funds from the Agricultural Credit Policy Board and the Rapid Response Fund for Rehabilitation of Affected Areas.
The confirmed death toll rose to 11 from 10 last week, while 574 were infected, NDRRMC reported.
The number of people affected also rose to more than half a million after continuous validation. Of the 502,462 affected, more than 10% have been displaced, although the majority reside outside evacuation centers.
The number of completely destroyed private homes reached 628, while 34,699 were partially damaged.
