The Province of Bukidnon sent financial assistance to communities affected by the Taal Volcano eruption in Batangas to help with their recovery and rehabilitation efforts.
An assistance of P1-million each was delivered to the municipalities of Calatagan, Tuy, Balayan, San Luis, and Bauan, as well as Batangas City.
Bukidnon Gov. Jose Ma. Zubiri sent the aid through his son, Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri.
“What happened with Taal ignited a spirit of bayanihan for all of us.”
“What happened with Taal really ignited a spirit of bayanihan for all of us, and it’s been so heart-warming to witness the way people have come together to help the people of Batangas and Tagaytay after the eruption,” the veteran legislator said.
“Bukidnon is just one of many to extend a helping hand in this time of recovery. We just want Batangas to know that the people of Bukidnon are one with the whole nation in supporting them as they rise from this disaster,” the seasoned lawmaker added.
