I had just arrived from a relief operations lead worked by YAPIS. We went to Green Village, Barangay Hinaplanon to somehow aid the victims there. Despite of the limited goods we are bringing, we still pursue, and drove in the mud along the way just for us to reach the victims. Noodles, canned goods, biscuits, water and clothings were some of the goods we are giving among the victims.
We were shock by what the people there told us that since yesterday we were the first people who tried to reach them and give some goods. I thought that the police, armies, or the authorities already made contact with them but, no, they weren't there since the day of the catastrophe had happened. And I said to myself, "Why? Why didn't they try to penetrate the area?" and "How come they haven't entered here?" OMG! Where are they? Roving around the city? tsk3...
As what the affected people are crying at, they need drinking water the most! They can't cook well for the water supply is so scarce. For those who wanted to donate and help, the following goods are the most preferred stuffs for donations:
- Drinking Water
- Canned and Instant Goods
- Clothings
I encourage different organizations and institutions to give your donations DIRECTLY to the affected families just to make sure your help/donations will be delivered well...
