The donated items were turned over last November 20 to the Alagang Kapatid Foundation, Inc. in Novaliches, Quezon City and the Eco Disaster Management Team of the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Our Lady of the Abandoned in Marikina City for distribution to various evacuation centers in the Bicol region and Marikina City.
