Written by Administrator

Tanging Yaman Foundation is blessed to have a reliable relief operations partner through the Redemptorist Fathers, for which we are deeply grateful. On Aug 10-11, 2023, 216 families from Brgy. Barangobong, Nueva Era, and Sitio Nalasin, Solsona, Ilocos Norte received relief packs worth P200,000.00.

The Redemptorist Amianan Response Team (RART) led the said 2-day relief operations in partnership with the Mission Station of Mary, Mother of the Church with Rev. Fr Metchell Valdepena (Parish Priest), Redemptorist Scholars, and the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) Northwest Luzon Conference through Rev. Ofelia Vicente and Rev. Edmund Solatre.

Before the relief pack distribution, the team conducted a short program on the effects of climate change and stewardship. Rev Edmund also presented their programs and activities for the community.

Work is underway to construct a second 3-in-1 chapel in the Apostolic Vicariate of Taytay, Palawan. The Sta Rita de Cascia Chapel is located in Bantoto, Abaraoan, Roxas.

Like many areas in the Philippines, northern Palawan was drenched by Typhoon Egay and the habagat rains in July. The construction site and surrounding area was flooded. The water has since receded, and construction resumed. Barring more destructive weather conditions, the chapel is due to be finished by October 2023.

TYF has supported the construction of 3-in-1 chapels in Palawan and Siargao as part of its Super Typhoon Odette rehab projects. A 3-in-1 chapel can be used for mass and religious gatherings. In the spirit of inclusivity, it can also be used for community meetings as well as an evacuation center during humanitarian emergencies.

The chapel of the Nuestra Señora de Salvacion Mission Station in Brgy. Itangil, Dumaran, Palawan was heavily damaged during Super Typhoon Odette which ripped its roof.

The Apostolic Vicariate of Taytay requested the help of Tanging Yaman Foundation to rebuild this as a chapel that can also be used for community gatherings and as an evacuation center during disasters. In anticipation that the mission area will later be converted into a parish, it was also agreed to build a bigger structure that will be declared the parish church.

Construction is proceeding quickly; the site is located near the highway, which facilitates the transport of materials. By October, the mission station's new 3-in-1 chapel will be completed.

Maraming salamat to the Vicariate's Social Action Center team led by Fr Ed Pariño and Mission Station Administrator Fr Henry Masa.
