Over the weekend, Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc. (TYFI), in partnership with Caritas Masbate and other local collaborators, mobilized efforts to address the urgent needs of communities affected by the devastation of Typhoon Opong.
As part of our response, we are preparing the first tranche of ₱1.2 million worth of construction supplies to support rehabilitation projects in Masbate. The materials, sourced from Cebu, will be transported to a naval vessel docked at Ouano Wharf before being shipped to Masbate. Upon arrival, the Philippine Army will assist in unloading and delivering the supplies to Caritas Masbate for proper distribution.
Given the recent earthquake in Cebu, we are closely monitoring the situation to determine if operations will proceed as planned or if adjustments will be necessary.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our donors and mission partners for their unwavering generosity and support, which make these relief and rehabilitation efforts possible.
