The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Thursday announced it will ask all military personnel to donate one day of their meal allowance to help the still struggling victims of super typhoon "Yolanda".
Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala, AFP public affairs office chief, said that military personnel have already done this to help the victims of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that rocked the Central Visayas last Oct. 15.
"Since this is also a devastation, that can also be proposed, that soldiers will voluntarily give up one day of their meal allowances to help," he said.
Zagala clarified that donation is voluntary but stressed that such move will find very little resistance among the soldiers.
The AFP public affairs office chief said the military is still focused on humanitarian assistance disaster relief operations.
