The Sagunto Tribal Council was tasked to distribute aid to Sagunto citizens who suffered damages from Typhoon Cosme that went through Sagunto last May. U.S. and Canadian Saguntonians pooled their money together and sent aid typhoon victims Sagunto, thanks in great part to the efforts of Ophelia “Babot” Pasibe Glasser. The tribal council disbursed P1000 each to 25 families and P265 each to 65 families; to help them recover and rebuild from the typhoon damage. It should be noted (according to the letter) that the funds were distributed based on need and not membership in the council.

333 families received P100 cash aid from SUKA (Sagunto UK Association) after hurricane Cosme came through and devastated many homes and livelihood last May. The gift brought lots of smiles from the people of Sagunto as the members of the Barangay council distributed the funds.
The barangay council, headed by Barangay Captain Manuel Esteban, Sr., extends their thanks to SUKA with a certificate of appreciation and a list of all the signatories from each household who received P100 aid.

The fate of the Pilaoan Elementary School and occupants after typhoon Cosme saddened the top SB member, Hon. Eric Biason, that moved his innate munificence to donate notebooks thru Barangay Kagawad Arlene and Nicole.
These precedents set by Mayor Kimi, BM Danny Uy and Clr. Biason are now gathering attention and focuses from different sectors, political and private. The Sagunto Association in Hongkong, under the headship of Mr. Dunstan Q. Baiguen, also sponsored the construction of bookshelves for the school’s library.
