“When the community knew of the relief operation they gladly shared their resources. We are thankful to Mr. Rudyard Palada, Mrs. Annabelle Marin Palada, Mr. and Mrs. Bernie and Pearl Sarabia for their kind and generous hearts,” said University Church Senior Pastor Rev. Cris Amorsolo Sian.

“We are grateful that the Lord has called the community of faith to not just help our brethren but also bring the message of hope, love and compassion to the affected families.”
