Through the Villar SIPAG (Social Institute for Poverty Alleviation & Governance), Senator Cynthia Villar extended assistance to victims of Typhoon “Fabian” in Marikina City.
Some 1,359 beneficiaries from barangays Malanday and Nangka received relief packs.
“I hope this will somehow help you especially in time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rest assured that we are always ready to extend all forms of assistance to you. We are doing our best for the welfare of our people,” Villar said.
Thousands of Marikina residents were forced to leave their homes after being submerged in floodwater caused by monsoon rains and “Fabian.”
“We want to ease the burden of victims who have been adversely affected by the recent typhoon especially now that we are in a pandemic,” Villar said.
The senator said this was her way of helping the national and local governments respond to the needs of the victims of the typhoon that ripped through Marikina City.
Villar also donated relief packs to “Fabian” victims in Quezon City; Imus, Cavite; and Taytay, Rizal.
