โTyphoon Basyang has devastated many communities, including our fellow Ka-Puthaws and other affected Iliganonsโwrecking homes, washing away belongings, and leaving marks of damage that may take weeks or even longer to recover.
โ
โTo help ease their burden, the Junior Society of Metallurgical Engineers of the Philippines (JSMEP), with the assistance from the Society of Metallurgical Engineering of the Philippines (SMEP), extended a helping hand by sharing warmth and compassion through a two-day donation drive of food packs, candles, and water for those in need.
โ
โThis two-day donation drive spanned from February 8 to 9. In the first wave, a total of 65 food packs, 100 bottles of water, 36 packs of candles, donated clothes, and packed relief goods were distributed to the affected METE students and a community in Bernales, Tipanoy. For the second wave, a total of 200 food packs, 200 bottles of water, candles, and soaps were distributed to the evacuees in Miguel Obach Memorial Elementary School Evacuation Center and another part in Bernales, Tipanoy.
โ
โOf course, this act of service would not have been possible without the people behind it. We sincerely thank our sponsorsโfaculty members, Metallurgical Engineers, companies, and METE studentsโwho generously provided financial assistance to purchase the essential items that we were able to donate, as well as the individuals who reached out and extended their support through in-kind donations. We also express our deepest appreciation to our hardworking volunteers who willingly gave their time, effort, and presence to make this initiative successful.
