Mayor Shierwin Taay of Dingalan, Aurora, visited the Buddhist Tzu Chi Campus (BTCC) today, February 22, 2023. The visit, he said, had been long-planned, following Tzu Chi’s relief mission in the aftermath of Typhoon Karding (Noru) last year.

 

The chief executive of Dingalan fully supported Tzu Chi’s operations, even personally attending the relief distribution from start to finish. At least four extremely damaged barangays and 2,500 families were assisted between September and October 2022. Cash assistance of P20,000-P30,000 was also provided to affected residents based on the number of family members.

 

During today's visit, the mayor toured the BTCC grounds, and also supported the charitable missions of the Tzu Chi Foundation by purchasing products from the Jing Si store.
