The Foreign aids are
coming in, last week we saw China and South Korea providing help for the Taal
volcano evacuees in Batangas.
The country’s ally –
the United States of America (USA) just gave the government efforts in USD100,000
or about PHP5.1 million in relief assistance to the communities affected by the
recent eruption and continued unrest of Taal Volcano.
The aid was announced
by no less than US ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim himself when he
visited two evacuation centers in Nasugbu and Calatagan in Batangas.

The US ambassador
lauded the evecuees "strength and resilience" even after facing the
devastation and loss followed by the volcanic eruption.
“As friends,
partners, and allies to the Philippines, we will continue to support our
Philippine government counterparts as they work to address the needs of those
communities most affected by the eruption," Kim said.
Washington, through
the US Agency for International Development (USAID), will partner with World
Vision in providing relief supplies that include soap, sleeping mats, and
blankets, to nearly 7,600 people temporarily housed at the Nasugbu West Central
School evacuation center.
The US Ambassador
who was in Calatagan joined Philippines Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF)
partners in distributing supplies to the displaced Batangueños. PDRF is a major
private sector vehicle and coordinator for disaster management in the
Philippines.
