Three weeks since ‘Odette’, relief goods continue to pour in for typhoon victims
Around 47 tons of relief goods, transported by Philippine Army troops and trucks, have reached typhoon-stricken areas in the Visayas and Mindanao.
The troops traveled over 1,000 km from Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, for three days starting December 30, 2021, to deliver essential supplies.
Nine truckloads of relief goods were received by Southern Leyte Vice Governor Christopher M. Yap on January 2 for distribution to his province's affected residents.
The remaining relief goods arrived in Butuan City on January 3 and will be distributed to Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands, areas in eastern Mindanao heavily impacted by Typhoon Odette.
The Philippine Army's 802nd Brigade, 4th Civil-Military Operations Battalion, and 901st Infantry Brigade are collaborating with local government units to ensure the aid reaches those affected by the typhoon.
