Sustainable Relief - Fund a Farm, Feed a Family

Jeanette on Oct 21st 2009

Sison braces for another typhoon, predicted to race through the region today, dumping more rain on the already drenched landscape. Pray for our town, our family and friends. While the storm pass through, they will need our help more than ever.

The video below was produced by the Mayor’s office to appeal to the citizens of Sison, wherever you are, to please help your townmates, family and friends. The farmers of Sison were especially hard hit. The crops that they had cultivated this year, including rice that was almost ready for harvest and vegetables slated for upscale markets and the new pasalubong center were all wiped out by Typhoon Pepeng. They will not be able to recover their loses on their own. The Congressman and the Mayor are lobbying the government earnestly for relief, but more help is needed; especially help that is earmarked specifically for the farmers. 1,200 PHP can fund the rehabilitation of one hectare of farm land. Send what you can for every little bit helps.

Aid Streams In to Sison

Jeanette on Oct 19th 2009

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.
