In sympathy to the miserable experiences of Zamboangeños during the month-long strife between government forces and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)-Misuari faction, the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) reached out Zamboanga crisis victims bringing relief goods and messages of empathy and solidarity.
BDA staff coming from the six regional management offices and Central Management Office joined the Relief Operation organized by BDA on November 6-8, 2013 targeting constituents of Barangays Taluksangay, Talon-Talon and Divisoria in Zamboanga City. Five BDA Regional Managers were present.
During the courtesy call to the Local Government Units, Zamboanga Mayor Bing Climaco expressed gratitude for the support of BDA to the siege victims.
Volunteers facilitated the packing and distribution of relief goods which contain used clothes, five kilogram rice with packs of noodles and canned sardines.
Tony D. Sakkalahul, BDA Regional Manager for Zamboanga-Basilan said, “We are here not only to bring some foods but also to bring our sympathy to all of you.”
He pointed out that BDA is adherent to the value of inclusiveness, thus it helps the Indigenous Peoples, Muslims and Christians.
“Magsukol kita (We thank you),” the Tausug beneficiaries said. More than 700 households received the relief packs.
The Board of Directors and staff of the BDA contributed for the procurement of the relief goods.
The United Nations High Commission on the Refugees (UNHCR) provided meals, fuel for transportation and accommodation of the volunteers.
Local volunteers and officials of the Local Political Committees of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front from Zamboanga City also shared their efforts and resources for the outreach initiative.
