As relief operations were ongoing in other parts of Metro Manila during the aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy, Pusong Pinoy Philippines Team Leader BENG DIZON with her family and friends put together their own relief operation for the typhoon victims of Barangay Apolonio Samson in Quezon City. The relief goods were distributed at the Parkway Village Chapel on October 24, 2009.
According to PP Team Leader Beng...
"With God's grace and help of generous family and friends, we were able to distribute 300 bags of relief goods to families affected by Typhoon Ondoy. It has been weeks since Metro Manila had been devastated by the typhoon. Most of us have started to move on with our lives. Sadly, these families have not recovered due to lack of resources to do so. Relief goods from big companies have not reached them, because their focus is in the highly reported flooded areas of Marikina, Pasig, and Laguna. Until now, many could still not afford to buy basic needs, especially food. During our relief goods distribution last Saturday, the families were very thankful and appreciative of the goods they received."
Pusong Pinoy would like to thank the following donors for making this relief effort possible: Sarah Encina, Liza Arzaga, Tina Monzod, Rowena Chee, TL Joanne Bermudez, VTL Victor Bermudez, and most especially to TL Beng Dizon and her family. Thank you so much! You truly are heroes!
