From the Philippine Information Agency (Dec 11, 2020): PH Navy provides 2,200 relief packs to 5 island barangays in Bicol (By Jimmyley E. Guzman)
PASIG CITY, Dec. 11 (PIA) -- Braving heavy rains aboard motor bancas, the Philippine Navy (PN) relief team on Wednesday, Dec. 9, distributed relief packs to some 2,200 families affected by the recent typhoons in five island barangays of Bacacay, Albay in Bicol.
Joined by local government employees, the navy personnel utilized seven motor bancas and sailed for more than 7 nautical miles to deliver the relief goods to the island barangays of Pili Ilawod, Napao, Mapulang Daga, Tambungon, Buang, Manaet and Namantao, which is 2 nautical miles afar from Bacacay Port.
PN-CMOUSL Commander, Lt. Orlan Orosco said these barangays were severely affected by typhoons but were difficult to reach for relief assistance.
“When our stakeholders reached out to us for help, we simply cannot just ignore the necessity for relief operations so we immediately organized how we can bring the relief goods to the island barangays,” Orosco added.
This humanitarian assistance activity was in partnership with Tanging Yaman Foundation, Nadora Trading Center Inc., Bacacay PN, GO SHARE, LRCP-South, Waves for Water, United News, Society of Junior Fellows, and was supported by various individuals Noel Gonzales, Reynaldo Vargas, Gary Ramirez and Paul Hinlo.
Also within this week, the Philippine Navy and the same stakeholders will also distribute a truck-load of relief goods for typhoon victims in Camalig, Albay. (PIA NCR)
