CLARK FREEPORT — Around P50,000.00 worth of assorted goods were donated by employees of the Clark International Airport Corp. on Wednesday for flood victims in Cagayan Valley, one of the hardest-hit regions by the recent typhoon.
“This is CIAC’s modest contribution, our personnel’s own donation, to help ease the misfortune of Cagayan victims and lift up their spirits,” CIAC president Aaron Aquino said.
The goods were turned over to Angeles City Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr., represented by city hall officer Reina Manuel, and officials from the city’s Social Welfare and Development Office.
The local government unit of Angeles City will also conduct its own relief donation drive and delivery to Cagayan.
Cagayan Valley ended up as a catch basin as voluminous rain water from nearby provinces during the Typhoon Ulysses overflowed the Magat Dam and resulted in what has been described as the worst flood to hit the region in 40 years.
Assorted relief goods donated by CIAC included sacks of rice, boxes of sterilized milk, canned goods and toiletries, among others.
