26,000 typhoon victims in Pangasinan receive help from GMA Kapuso Foundation

At least 26,000 individuals affected by typhoons and severe weather in Pangasinan received help from GMA Kapuso Foundation.

According to "24 Oras," Wednesday, nearly P10 billion in infrastructure damage nationwide was caused by Typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong, as well as the Southwest Monsoon, or Habagat, with over P1 billion of that damage specifically recorded in Pangasinan.

Under Silong Kapuso Project, GMA Kapuso Foundation provided roofing materials to homes that had lost their roofs.

Among those who received aid were Lola Estrilita, whose original roof was destroyed, forcing her to temporarily use makeshift tin sheets, and Deby Ann Tactaquin, who constructed a small temporary shelter from scattered tin sheets.

Relief goods were also delivered to affected residents.

"Malaking tulong po itong binigay ng GMA Kapuso Foundation. Hindi po namin akalain na mabibigyan po ang Sual," Sual Pangasinan MSWDO officer Ma. Lourdes Sabido said.

Overall, seven Pangasinan towns received help through the program.

After this, GMA Kapuso Foundation will head to Benguet and La Union for further aid distribution.

For those who are interested to help, GMA Kapuso Foundation is accepting donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
