Walking across a carpet of dead people and feeling the anguish and fear of an empty stomach, the unimaginable sight brought by “Yolanda” could weigh down even the strongest of hearts. But amidst this sea of utter destruction the resilience of the Filipino people without doubt lifts the heavy heart.Days passed yet the affected areas remained doomed displacing more than 3 million people and more lifeless bodies recovered in every place where death toll feared to reach more than 7,500.
TADECO, AOFF, PBGEA and Mindanao Development Authority (MDA) joined forces to catch HOPE for the YOLANDA survivors bringing with them some 3,100 boxes of bananas, 6,500 relief packs, 500 bags of used clothings and medicines in the Barangays ofOrmoc and Tacloban City. For 5 days the team journeyed to far-flung areasif only to reach and bring relief to more barangays.
“The journey is never easy, we too experiencedhardships along the way but it was nothing compared to the fate of our brethren who suffered from the catastrophe brought by typhoon Yolanda. Helping hands,our people in TADECO and Anflocor and even our communities shared some relief packs to the survivors,” shared Mark Maghalin, Team Leader and Community Relations Head of TADECO team.
With the bananas which are rich with potassium and carbohydrates, this will bring out the energy of the surviving brethren which Yolanda had snatched from them in a moment; sending the message that they are not alone. Their world may have been torn apart, but the overwhelming support from all over the world will make them rise and shine again.
