To All Filipino and Foreign Friends:
Greetings of Peace!
The typhoon Milenyo brought havoc in the Province of Sorsogon. The eye of the typhoon was seen at the heart of Sorsogon in the afternoon of September 27, 2006. With a 220 kph strong winds and heavy rain, our province was the hardest hit by Milenyo. Common folks said “it was the strongest typhoon that hit Sorsogon so far”. It left scores of victims in 14 towns. In the data of the Sorsogon Social Action Center on 7 towns and the Sorsogon City proper, 57,969 families become homeless, 362, 030 individuals affected. Many people were injured and many died. Some people remain missing to this date. Out of the 291 barangays hit, 274 were greatly affected or 94%. According to House Representative Francis Escudero, P2.5 Billion is needed to meet the urgent needs of the displaced families and the rehabilitation of the entire province. Sad to say, the aid from the National Government will be spent in infrastructure projects, forgetting the most crucial aspect of the situation – the survival of the people.
Then came the super typhoon Reming that shattered the temporary shelter or houses barely built by the people. It literally plunged down the entire agricultural life of the province. The once robust cocolandia was devastated that according to the experts, it will take 5 to 10 years before the coco-life of the people fully recovered and be productive again.
The aftermath of the two super typhoons are far worse because people become homeless with no enough food and medicine. Even clothing to keep them warm is totally lacking. Their economic means for subsistence were destroyed by the typhoon. Such situation will further result to the destitution of the people and eventually death due to post-typhoon sicknesses.
Thus the SORSOGON PEOPLE’S ORGANIZATION, INC. (SPO, Inc.), a province-wide organization of Sorsoganons, is organizing SAGIP-BUHAY (SAVE-LIFE) RELIEF and REHABILITATION OPERATION to help the victims of the typhoon especially the children. The situation is so urgent that I appeal to you to extend help to these people. Financial and material support like medicine, food, clothing, and housing materials are of great value to us. You can send your share and help to the following centers:
