ACT-CIS Party-list through its nominee, House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo has donated P1 million in cash and over 2,000 sacks of rice to the victims of typhoon "Kristine" in the Bicol Region. 

“This is a humble contribution from ACT-CIS and the Erwin Tulfo Action Center. This is our way of helping our kababayans in Bicol who are victims of the flooding,” Tulfo said in a statement Thursday, Oct. 24. 

Last Oct. 23, Tulfo, who was recently conferred as an auxiliary commodore of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA), instructed his chief-of-staff PCGA Auxiliary Commander Jerico Javier to personally deliver the P1-million cash donation and 1,000 sacks of rice to the officials of the PCG 

The P1 million cash was a personal donation from brothers Benguet lone district Rep. Eric Go Yap and ACT-CIS Party-list Rep.Edvic Yap. 

The PCG will take charge of distributing the cash and rice donation to typhoon victims in the Bicol Region.

Meanwhile, the office of Tulfo and ACT-CIS Party-list also coordinated with the Angat Buhay Foundation of former vice president Leni Robredo for the donation of an additional 500 sacks of rice to the foundation’s warehouse in Quezon City 

“We, at ACT-CIS, would not stop in providing help, whether or not there is a calamity. We would continue to extend help and would look for ways on how we could provide more assistance to our fellow Filipinos,” said Jeff Soriano of ACT-CIS Party-list.   

Around 500 sacks of rice were also doled out to residents of Iriga City and other cities in the Bicol Region that were affected by the storm.
