Several local government units and organizations all over the Philippines have extended their help to the province of Batangas, which is currently suffering from the effects of Taal Volcano’s eruption.
This includes over 200 volunteers from the provincial government of Pampanga and its private sector.
They have conducted a medical mission and given food to the affected residents. Pampanga Governor Dennis Pineda stated it was a form of thank you for the help that the province received during the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption.
Benguet farmers have also extended help as they offered sacks of vegetables to the eruption victims.
