Like a thief in the night, CDO’s devastation from one monstrous calamity was unprecedented. Sendong has brought the “City of Golden Friendships” to a standstill. It may have caused destruction to the city but it has brought a lot of people together. Untold stories of heroism and the bayanihan spirit are prevalent.
Most notable among the many who responded is our very own Tan Yan Kee Foundation. Right at the onset, it was very quick to set in motion its resources by conducting aggressive relief operations primarily in heavily stricken areas.
TDI El Salvador was at the helm of the operation spearheaded by plant manager Mr. Tony S. Ong. While some individuals are on vacation and staying as far away from CDO and Iligan as possible, TDI El Salvador and allied volunteers for Tan Yan Kee Foundation are hard at work and extended assistance to over 10, 000 families. This was furthermore supported by a group volunteers from UERM who conducted a three-day (February 10-12) medical mission.
The noble and note-worthy humanitarian cause of UERM doctors was spearheaded by Dr. Henry A. Yañez, a proud son of Iligan himself backed up by our very own HR Manager Ms. Josefina de Luna and VP for Corporate Planning Ms. Irma Tan who continued to facilitate distribution of relief goods.
It has been proven time and again that the resiliency of the Filipino people is one that is hardly equaled.
The Tanduay family is committed to help every countryman in need reflective of the indomitable bayanihan spirit which is deeply rooted in our own culture as a people. With reasonable optimism and the knowledge gained from such a horrific episode, the Filipino people will ultimately prevail. Roberto V. Ampalayo, Jr.
