The team of Yassi Pressman and AP Partylist continues to bring help to communities affected by Super Typhoon Odette. After conducting feeding programs in the towns of Talibon, Pilar, Sevilla and Balilihan in Bohol province, and donating thousands of water bottles, loaves of bread, sacks of rice, and at least 30 portable water filters that supported more than 1000 displaced families, AP Partylist continued its relief efforts to several remote towns in Cebu.
Actress Yassi Pressman and AP Partylist Rep. Ronnie Ong visited the Municipalities of Argao, Dalaguete, and Toledo in Cebu to conduct feeding programs for the Cebuanos whose lives were devastated by typhoon Odette. Almost two months since the typhoon hit, many of these Cebuanos have yet to recover and are slowly rebuilding their lives. Yassi and her AP Team also distribute free accidental insurance with medical reimbursement to selected beneficiaries to help Cebuanos be ready for any unforeseen accidents in the future.
“Alam po namin na marami pa sa inyo ang hindi pa nakakabangon kahit mahigit isang buwan na ang nakalipas mula sa paghagupit ng bagyong Odette. Isa lang po ito sa mga paraan natin para kahit papaano maramdaman po ninyo na may mga tao pa rin na totoong handang tumulong (We know many have yet to overcome this adversity one month after Odette struck. This is just one of the ways we hope to show there are still people ready to help),” Ong said during his speech in Argao, Cebu.
“Masaya po kaming makita ang inyong mga ngiti lalo na sa panahon ngayon,” said Pressman. “Lagi po tayong handa sa kahit ano mang sakuna basta tulong-tulong po tayo at sabay-sabay na aahon. Naniniwala po tayong ang pagtulong ay hindi lamang pang probinsyano kundi para sa lahat ng Pilipino, kaya andito po kami para sa inyo kasama ng AP Partylist. (We’re happy to see your smiles even during this time. We’re ready for any calamity. As long as we help each other, we’ll get through it together. We believe helping isn’t just for those from the province but for all Filipinos, that why we’re here for you.)”
AP Partylist and Yassi Pressman are set to visit the four municipalities of Camotes Islands in Cebu in the following days and conclude their relief efforts this week in Cebu City.
Per municipality, AP Partylist has prepared feeding programs for at least 500 individuals and distributed free insurance cards to help and empower them in untimely cases of accident.
