LMP-Pangasinan to mayors: Help Taal victims
LEAGUE of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP)-Pangasinan chapter president Mayor Leopoldo Bataoil is encouraging his fellow mayors in the province to organize to extend support to victims of the Taal Volcano eruption.
“I urge my fellow mayors to do their own initiative to help the victims in Batangas. Although I know some of them (mayors) have already extended help through LMP national,” he said in an interview Thursday.
He said LMP national has already adopted some towns in Batangas, which were affected by the Taal Volcano’s eruption.
“LMP brought rice and canned goods in the area. Some of the mayors from different provinces donated cash to LMP for the purchase of the relied goods,” he added.
In his town Lingayen, the municipal government has initiated the collection of voluntary donations from the residents for the victims of the Taal Volcano eruption.
“This is voluntary to which we encourage our constituents. This weekend we will arrange the transfer of the first batch of donations to the affected residents in Batangas,” he said. (Helen Martin)
