PRC Chairman and CEO Senator Richard J. Gordon expressed gratitude that the country was spared worse destruction. “God has been merciful. The damage was not as great as we had initially feared, but we must remain vigilant as rains and winds still pose risks in many areas,” he said.
In addition, Chairman Gordon also praised PRC’s staff and volunteers for their tireless dedication. “I would like to commend the PRC staff and volunteers for their dedicated service. People often think that our work is limited to handing out relief boxes, but we have been working non-stop preparing hot meals and holding meetings 24/7. Thanks to everyone’s sacrifices here, the PRC can truly be always first, always ready, and always there.”
The Philippine Red Cross remains committed to its mission of protecting and upholding the dignities of affected communities.
