CALL FOR DONATIONS FOR KABUGAO, APAYAO
The province of Apayao was among those in the path of Super Typhoon Ompong (or Mangkhut) last September 15, 2018.
Among those severely affected is the Municipality of Kabugao, Apayao. About 8,000 people belonging to at least 1,000 families had their agricultural crops and homes damaged by Ompong. Silliman University is making a call for donations, preferably in cash, so that we can help rebuild the homes and means of livelihood of the people of Kabugao, through our alumni and friends working in the community.
Dr. Juan Q. Bartolo, Jr., HS 54, Associate of Arts 57, a recipient of the Outstanding Sillimanian Award in 2007 for Community Health Service, and Dr. Pj Bartolo-Ukkong (HS 83), the Community Health Officer of Kabugao, are among the Silliman alumni serving the people who are mostly of the Isneg tribe.Silliman will work with an organization in or near Kabugao to fund the most urgent needs of the Ompong victims.
We call on our alumni and friends for support.We welcome any amount you can spare and contribute to the fund we are collecting for Kabugao.
