During the last week of September, TIFAC was mobilized to extend help to our unfortunate “kababayans” who were victims of the super typhoon Ondoy. It was Raissa Soyangco (as she was also sending help to her family) who informed Sarah Dela Cruz, the President of TIFAC, that some cargo companies were shipping donations for free. TIFAC gathered more than 10 balikbayan boxes of new & used clothing, canned goods, footwears, blankets, etc. The TIFAC Pres likewise sought the help of Ben’s Pharmacy thru the kindness of Dr. Brad Borsari of St. Jude Heritage Foundation for some over-the-counter (otc) medicines for colds, cough & diarrhea. The pharmacy donated a big box of various otc medicines. The response was overwhelming and it was truly a “bayanihan” effort.
