Every Filipino is capable of bringing light and hope to those who lost their loved ones, livelihood and homes due to the recent onslaught of the said typhoons. This is the message behind ABS-CBN Foundation - Sagip Kapamilya's newest public service campaign "Tulong-Tulong Sa Pag-Ahon" which was launched last November 20, 2020 (Friday) on TV Patrol. Just like the bayanihan spirit shown by Filipinos in previous calamities, ABS-CBN hopes to inspire the nation to unite once again to help Filipino families rise from the destruction and devastation caused by typhoons Quinta, Rolly, Siony, Tonyo and Ulysses.
They can help by donating any amount of cash or in-kind donations such as rice, canned goods, bottled water, blankets and hygiene kits to Sagip Kapamilya, to be used for the relief packs it will distribute to typhoon victims all over the country. An estimated 800,000 families are said to have been affected by the typhoons, with many families staying in evacuation centers as they slowly rebuild their homes and their lives. Meanwhile, through the help of donors and partners in both public and private sectors, Sagip Kapamilya and the ABS-CBN News' Public Service team continue to deliver relief goods and hot meals to areas badly hit by Typhoon Ulysses including Aurora, Batangas, Bulacan, Cagayan, Isabela, Marikina City, Pampanga, Rizal and evacuation centers in Quezon City and Makati as well as areas gravely affected by Super Typhoon Rolly such as Albay, Aurora, Batangas, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Nueva Ecija, Oriental Mindoro and Quezon.
To be able to continue and expand the relief operations of Sagip Kapamilya and serve more Filipinos, ABS-CBN is intensifying its efforts to help through upcoming activities in line with the "Tulong-Tulong Sa Pag-Ahon" public service campaign. ABS-CBN Foundation managing director Susan Afan thanked the Philippines' premiere media and entertainment company for supporting its mission to bring light amidst the darkness, fear and loneliness felt by Filipinos brought about by the typhoons and the continuing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic and is grateful that its love and compassion for Filipinos still prevails despite the challenges being faced by the company.
