To speed up help and sustain relief assistance to the victims of typhoon Pablo, the Davao Central High School solicited more than half a million pesos from parents, alumni and friends to assist the victims of typhoon Pablo.
School board chairman Edison Lu sought the financial help of his friends who immediately responded to his appeal even as he mobilized students and faculty of the school to ensure the orderly distribution of relief in New Bataan, Compostela Valley, the towns hardest hit by the typhoon.
“The school administrators and students assisted in packing the relief items in the true spirit of bayanihan,” Lu said, citing the selflessness of the school and students who gave up their Christmas party for the victims of the typhoon.
From its students alone, the school was also able to raise more than a hundred thousand pesos.
“It’s touching that our students had given up their party to help the victims,” Lu said.
“It is noteworthy that as early as now, our students have learned to be socially responsible by responding to reach out to the victims of Pablo,” Lu stressed as he also cited the benevolence of alumni and the administrators of the school.
Alumni and parents of the students headed by Melinda Ti extended cash and in kind like nails, galvanized iron sheets and others for the victims who will be reconstructing their houses.
Lu thanked all the members of the board, alumni, parents, administrators and students of the school for the immediate assistance for the victims of the typhoon.
