Congressman Mark O. Cojuangco and Mayor Kimi Cojuangco have worked tirelessly to bring much needed aid to Sison, pulling on all their available resources. Relief has arrived in Sison at a steady pace and from unexpected places.
The Congressman appealed to the government when he was interviewed by ABS-CBN news correspondent regarding the damage to Sison from Typhoon Pepeng which is estimated to be more than 5 billion pesos. He said,
“Nakikiusap ako sa ating gobyerno na sana gumawa ng programa para matulungan ang mga magsasaka para makabangon muli pagkat ang kanilang ipinuhunan sa kanilang mga pananim ay nawala na dahil sa pananalasa ng bagyo. May mga magsasaka na sarili nila ang kanilang ipinuhunan pero ang karamihan ay nangutang para ipambili ng abono at iba pa nilang pangangailangan. Ang pag-angkat ng bigas sa ibang bansa sana ay hinay-hinay lang. Ang pera sanang gagamiting pang-angkat ay itulong na lang sa ating mga magsasaka para makaahon silang muli.”
The mayor personally traveled to Manila to garner aid for the town of Sison. Following her as she returned back from Manila were seven truckloads of relief goods donated from the San Miguel Corporation. She then rolled up her sleeves and worked alongside the municipal workers to pack up the goods and ready them for distribution.
As if personally soliciting major corporations were not enough, the Mayor also pulled on her personal network to aid Sison. Ladies from the Assumption Alumnae Association of the famed Assumption College where the mayor is also an alumni, came through with another truck load of relief goods for the people of Sison.

We all need to pray as hard and as sincerely for salvation from these devastating storms. If anyone in Sison or Sagunto still has power, please let us all know how you are managing with typhoon Lupit/Ramil. May God bless and keep you all.
