Taiwanese businesses deliver aid to Filipino village of Ormoc

Typhoon Yolanda (海燕颱風) pounded the Philippines for a whole month. Departing from the Port of Cebu (宿霧港), a number of citizen journalists followed representatives from the World Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce (世界台商會) on a two-and-a-half-hour boat journey to Ormac where aid was distributed. Devastation from the typhoon was clearly evident en route, and on arrival in Kananga, villagers had already formed a massive queue. On this occasion, with the hope of assisting disaster victims through this difficult time, the World Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce distributed 2000 bags of rice, US$13,500 worth of pesos, as well as canned food and instant noodles etc. The Filipino people expressed their deep gratitude for Taiwan’s willingness to extend a helping hand in the wake of such a devastating typhoon.

海燕颱風重創菲律賓整整一個月，幾位公民記者跟著世界台商會的腳步從宿霧港出發，搭二個半小時的船到Ormoc發放物資。途中還是可以看到颱風所帶來的傷害，抵達Kananga村落時，村民早已大排長龍。世界台商會這次在Ormoc附近的四個村落總共發放了2000多包的米，六十萬披索的現金及罐頭泡麵等食物，希望幫助災民渡過難關。菲律賓受到颱風的摧殘，台灣伸出援手，災民有著滿滿的感謝。
