SAGIP TULONG SA HABAGAT VICTIMS, San Roque, San Pedro, August 12, 2012

After providing assistance to the flood victims at Landayan evacuation center last August 7, 2012, RC San Pedro South launched its second relief goods giving to Habagat victims last August 12, 2012, this time in Brgy San Roque, San Pedro, Laguna. Braving flooded streets, they trooped to the house of RC San Pedro’s PP Emil Mendiola where they mapped out how to distribute the goods they brought. Learning from their experience at Landayan evacuation center, this time with the help of PP Emil Mendiola, stubs were given out earlier that day to 150 families from San Roque. They were instructed to go to the residence of PP Emil at 3 pm, their stubs filled up with their names.

So when the RC San Pedro South Rotarians arrived, those with stubs immediately formed a single file. Since they were assured that so long as they have stubs, they will receive packed goods, they maintained a single line until all received their groceries which consisted of rice, coffee, sugar, milk, chicken//beef mami, biscuits, sardines and soap. What could not be avoided were those without stubs crowding around, hoping they can also get their share. However, there were only five extra packs and the rest have to wait for the next relief goods giving.

To PP Emil, thanks a lot for your assistance, aside from taking care of distributing the stubs, he also served snacks to the RC San Pedro South Rotarians, PDG Rose Celis (she initially coordinated with Pb Pres Onie), PP Cely, IPP Yolly, AG Resty, PE Fe, PN Bebot (his van was used to transport the grocery packs), Ading, Lourdes, Dan, Emy, Gigi, Pb Pres Rey and Prudence.

Last but most important acknowledgment and thanks is for Pb P Onie Calayan, RC Lucena South. He made the day’s activity possible by donating the P20,000 used for buying the grocery items distributed that day. More power, God bless, Pb P Onie!
