Overall, the relief efforts reached 600 families benefiting 3,000 individuals in Zambales alone.
Across both Rizal and Zambales, essential support was provided to a total of 10,374 affected families or 51,783 individuals.
Rep. Yedda Romualdez extended her heartfelt gratitude to the numerous volunteers, local leaders, and partner organizations whose unwavering dedication made the relief operation possible.
“The spirit of cooperation and compassion has shone brightly through these challenging times,” she stated. “Our collective effort has truly made a difference in the lives of those affected.”
