BORONGAN CITY– The Department of Public Works and Highways Eastern Samar District Engineering Office (DPWH ESDEO) provided assistance to the victims of Typhoon Kristine, leading a charitable initiative driven by its dedicated employees.
DPWH ESDEO has sent cash and in-kind donations to the victims of Typhoon Kristine this November 2024.
Through the efforts of the Rank and File Employees Association (RAFEA), the organization successfully collected a total of Php 34,310.00, along with boxes filled with used clothing and food packs for those impacted by the disaster.
DPWH ESDEO District Engineer Domcelio Natividad expressed his strong support for the donation drive, emphasizing that these activities align with the nationwide initiative of the DPWH to provide relief to typhoon victims.
“This is our way of giving back, as we understand the feelings of being victims of typhoons, having experienced challenges during Typhoon Yolanda and Typhoon Ruby,” said DE Natividad, highlighting the importance of helping one another in times of crisis.
Meanwhile, the DPWH ESDEO Employees Union is organizing another donation drive to assist the victims of Typhoon Pepito.
The Eastern Samar District Engineering Office has previously conducted similar aid efforts to support communities affected by natural disasters.
“This initiative not only demonstrates the compassionate spirit of the DPWH employees but also highlights the principle of solidarity in overcoming adversity,” said DE Natividad.(PR)
