Nearly 2,000 families received assistance tailored to each area’s accessibility, including groceries, rice, grocery gift checks, and construction material vouchers to support their recovery, bringing timely relief ahead of the holiday season, in collaboration with the Philippine Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCCI).
