Isuzu PH brings help to earthquake victims in Abra province
Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC), in partnership with one of its dealer partners, BMD Motors of Isuzu Isabela, took the initiative to offer its help to victims of the recent earthquake which struck the provinces of Northern Luzon, specifically in Abra Province.
The company organized a relief operation at the office of the Abra Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) after the magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck the area last July 27.
The IPC team headed by Ms. Imelda Bernas, Administration Division Head, and Mr. Robert Carlos, Sales Assistant Division Head, and Isuzu Isabela Operations Manager Mr. Antonio Benito “Butch” Mijares travelled to Bangued, Abra to deliver relief goods such as food, water and hygiene kits to 250 families currently settling in an evacuation center.
The turnover of relief goods was done in the Operation Center (OPCEN) warehouse 1 of the PDRRMO in Calaba, Bangued, Abra wherein incoming supplies are being sorted out before handing over to the evacuees. Hot meals good for 300 pax were also distributed among evacuees during the relief operation.
According to Ms. Cherish Lantano, representative from the Provincial Government of Abra, they appreciate donations from private companies who go the extra mile just to give assistance to the victims of the earthquake. Although a week has already passed, the aftermath of the devastative quake continues to make people from different barangays to keep coming to the evacuation centers to seek shelter in fear of unstable infrastructures.
