PAGCOR has donated another 2,400 food and non-food packs for evacuees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Philippines.- The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) <\/strong>has delivered additional relief assistance to Albay province, where the number of people impacted by the ongoing unrest of Mayon Volcano <\/strong>has climbed to nearly 20,000. It’s donated another 2,400 relief packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aid follows the recent donation of 6,000 food and non-food packs<\/a> in collaboration with the Philippine Army. The relief supplies were received by Albay Governor Edcel Greco Lagman, who expressed his gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the beneficiaries of PAGCOR’s relief mission was Crystal dela Cruz<\/strong>, a housewife from Barangay Old Budiao in Daraga town. Her family evacuated their home after their community was included in the seven-kilometre permanent danger zone identified by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dela Cruz acknowledged the challenges of living in crowded evacuation centres and the loss of livelihood it entails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Condi Loveres<\/strong>, the village chief of Barangay Old Budiao, acknowledged the difficulties faced by evacuees residing in temporary shelters but highlighted the positive impact of the ongoing support from various organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, PAGCOR organised feeding programmes in various evacuation centres in Albay following a phreatic eruption. It has since funded multi-purpose evacuation centres<\/a> across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
