    TYKFI  HOPE CARAVAN: Calapan, Or. Mindoro Housing Assistance

    10/29/2017

     
    Picture
    In the latter part of 2016, the Foundation noted that almost 1,000 families in Oriental Mindoro were reported to have been evacuated from their homes due to the tragic devastation left by Typhoon Nina. Realizing that many of those families have not received enough assistance to repair or rebuild their homes, the Foundation sought a few local government units of Calapan City to reach out to more than 100 families still needing housing assistance through the TYKFI HOPE Caravan project.
        By May this year, the Foundation was initially assisted by PNB Calapan City branch headed by Ms. Liberty Medes, in locating the barangays most affected by the typhoon and the qualified beneficiaries who may receive assistance in the form of house construction materials.
        The evaluation team composed of Lara Abaleta of TYKFI and Hoira Dominguez of PNB Head Office visited the identified households in Barangays Bulusan, Mahal na Pangalan, and Suqui last May 19-20, 2017.  Upon visitation, the team noted the tragic effects left by the typhoon which were still evident even months after its onslaught – dilapidated houses, makeshift shelters, unrepaired foundation, damaged livelihood, and impaired lives. Some families had to relocate to  other barangays or  temporarily stay with other relatives because their homes have remained unfit to live in.
        Just in time before the rainy season started, in coordination with the local barangay officials of Brgy. Suqui headed by barangay captain Richard San Agustin, a total of 32 beneficiaries could not contain their gratitude as they received the coupons they would present to the hardware to claim their chosen housing materials last June 9, 2017. Also present to assist during the distribution were PNB’s Ms. Libay Medes and Ms. Joy Baculo.
        The next day, June 10, 2017, 63 beneficiaries gathered at the Holy Cross Chapel at Barangay Bulusan and attended the mass before they received yet another blessing. In coordination with the barangay officials headed by Brgy. Captain Carmelita Mañibo, the project team composed of Evelyn Abao and Lara Abaleta from TYKFI and PNB’s Hoira Dominguez were in return very much blessed to have touched more lives.
        A total of 15 beneficiaries hailing from barangays Mahal na Pangalan, Tibag, Lalud, Lumangbayan, and Pachoca were present at the PNB Calapan branch for the last day of distribution on June 11, 2017. PNB Calapan branch officers and employees were present to assist the Foundation.
        Ms. Annabella Magadia, a valued client of the said branch, was also present and personally thanked the team for including their church members from Brgy. Mahal na Pangalan and Tibag as recipients. She was grateful for the Foundation was also able to extend and even used her as a channel of blessings. Ms. Margie M. Mendoza, the Sales and Service Head, also recommended four beneficiaries, including two security guards of the bank who are in need of assistance.
        Through the recipients’ warm smiles as they received the symbol of the generous grant, the Foundation knew that the help, however small, was of big impact to their families.

    ​“M
    araming salamat po sa Tan Yan Kee Foundation. Malaking katulungan itong inyong binigay sa aming mga nasiraan ng bahay. Sana ay magpatuloy ang inyong pagtulong sa mahihirap na tulad ko.”--Marcela Manjares, 58, Brgy. Suqui


    “Malaking bagay sa aming mahihirap ang tinulong niyo sa amin lalo na sa sa aking kapatid (na PWD) dahil mapapaayos na niya ang kanyang maliit na bahay. Lubos na nagpapasalamat sa mga taong malalaki ang puso at isa ang aming barangay sa nabigyan ng tulong.”--Jocelyn Quialquial for Elizabeth Madrigal, 47 and 53, Brgy. Suqui


    “Salamat po sa naibigay ninyong tulong na natanggap namin ngayon. Kahit paano po ay maipapaayos na namin ang nasira naming bahay. Salamat po at pagpalain pa kayo ng marami pang biyaya.”--Cielito Lorica for Ramchrisen Lorica, father, 64 and 25, Brgy. Lumangbayan


    “Maraming salamat at napili niyo kami, kahit hindi niyo kami kilala, narito kayo at tinulungan kami. Malaking tulong ang lahat ng ito sa amin.”--Ruel Casilon, 48, Brgy. Mahal na Pangalan


    “Isa pong napakalaking tulong sa barangay Bulusan ang project ng Tan Yan Kee Foundation kasi ngayon lang po kami nabigyan ng isang Foundation ng tulong para sa bagyong nanalasa dito sa Calapan City. Una po nagpapasalamat kami sa biyaya para sa 63 families na nakinabang. Ang mga pamilyang ito ay kahit paano ay nakumpuni ang mga tahanan sa isang buhos ng tulong mula sa Foundation. Marami po ang tunay na nagpapasalamat lalong higit kay Ms. Evelyn Abao dahil siya po ang nagdala ng tulong sa aming mga kabarangay. Sana po ay maging matagumpay ang inyong adhikaing mas makatulong pa sa mga mahihirap na narito sa probinsya ng Oriental Mindoro. Maraming salamat po!”--Carmelita Mañibo, Brgy. Captain, Brgy. Bulusan


    “It is indeed a unique Filipino trait to be of a helping hand to one another in times of struggles. One great example is on how victims of the recent Typhoon Nina were given help and attention by the ever generous Tan Yan Kee Foundation. It was actively participated by the employees of Philippine National Bank Calapan Branch. We are so lucky and grateful for the assistance shared to our selected typhoon Nina Calapeño victims by giving housing materials. Cheers to the Tan Yan Kee Foundation people! May your tribes increase a hundredfold.”--Ms. Liberty “Libay” Medes, Branch Manager, PNB Calapan
    “I am  very grateful that I have been given the privilege of extending your “social welfare legacy” to our church members.  All eleven (11) members of Samahan sa Evangelio ng Pamilya ng Dios, Inc. (SEPDI), a bible based Christian Church in Mahal na Pangalan and Tibag, Calapan City are very much grateful and blessed. Their prayers have been answered through your program.  Each one who was given materials to repair damaged parts of their humble abode kept on thanking me as a channel of blessing they have received. A member, who used “trapal” as part of their roof is now relieved for there would be leakage no more. Others [were problematic] because their kitchen roof had needed replacement for such a long time but was not given priority saying, “walang pambili ng materyales”. Thankful for the support, the man of the house did the repairs together with his relatives and neighbors in exchange of small amount or snacks as payments. Again, on behalf of our members, we salute your advocacy and love for your kababayans. I can personally say long live to TYKFI, its founders, programs and commitments, and all men and women behind.”--Annie Magadia, PNB Valued Client, PNB Calapan
