Now It's Our Turn To Share

It wasn’t long ago when Western Visayas experienced nature’s wrath in Typhoon Frank. There was massive flooding in the provinces of Iloilo and Aklan, and many postal employees lost their homes and their belongings. Appeals for help reached the high heavens, moving hearts to donate in cash or kind. The response from postal employees coming from the different regions was overwhelming. They donated food, clothing, and cash, and before long, we who were affected by the typhoon were able to begin to rebuild our lives.

Now another typhoon, Ondoy, has swept over the country causing flooding again, this time, in Metro Manila and the neighboring provinces. There are many postal employees who have not been spared by nature’s fury. Ondoy damaged their homes and destroyed their possessions, and we who have experienced the wrath of nature just over a year ago, could very well relate to their situation.

And so, moved by the same spirit of generosity that has helped us moved on in one way or the other, we share whatever we can with our fellow postal employees. Personnel Section Chief Cynthia I. Amaguin spearheaded the collection campaign for clothes and goods, and these were sent to the Employees Welfare Division for distribution last October 5, 2009.
