BingoPlus Foundation, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive, distributed P37 million in financial aid to families affected by Typhoon Kristine.
The foundation said that it committed at least P250,000 to each bereaved family of the 148 confirmed casualties nationwide, as a symbol of compassion and support for their journey to recovery.
The initiative started with 39 bereaved families during a turnover ceremony on Nov. 10 at Talisay New Municipal Grounds in Batangas and will continue in several parts of the country. The pledge will continue to support affected families in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos, Department of Social Welfare and Development Undersecretary Pinky Romualdez and DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco were joined by Batangas Governor Hermilando Mandanas, Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste, Talisay Mayor Nestor Natanauan, Bacolod Mayor Albie, BingoPlus Foundation COO Celeste Jovenir and local leaders and community members to personally hand over the financial aid.
