Gabriela Solon Appeals for Assistance, Pro-active Action for Relief for Flood Victims, Rehabilitation of Mindanao Resources

“Amid such grief and devastation we must now take immediate action towards pooling much needed assistance and resources to the tens of thousands who lost their homes and loved ones in flash floods in Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, Bukidnon and Dumaguete.”

Thus said Mindanaoan solon and Gabriela Women’s Party Representative Luz Ilagan today, explaining that the women’s partylist group is coordinating relief efforts with its chapters in Mindanao as well as with other socio-civic and religious organizations to make the distribution of relief goods more efficient.
