TINGOG Party-list, in close coordination with the Office of House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, conducted simultaneous relief operations across flood-hit areas in Metro Manila and Rizal on July 22, delivering 16,819 hot meals to displaced residents.
These efforts form part of TINGOG’s ongoing response to the widespread flooding caused by Typhoon Crising and the intensified southwest monsoon. In partnership with local officials and volunteers, TINGOG deployed hot meals to multiple evacuation sites in a single day, doing the best it can to reach as many communities as possible with immediate assistance.
Hot meals were distributed across flood-affected areas in Quezon City, Marikina, and Manila in NCR, as well as in Taytay and Rodriguez in Rizal, through the support of district representatives and local volunteers.
“These relief efforts are part of our commitment to deliver immediate assistance to communities in crisis,” said TINGOG Rep. Andrew Romualdez. “We thank our local partners and volunteers for working closely with us to ensure that help arrived without delay.”
TINGOG Rep. Jude Acidre emphasized the importance of government presence in times of disaster. “Hindi lang pagkain ang hatid natin, ito ay pagkalinga at pagtitiyak na hindi sila nag-iisa. Sa panahon ng sakuna, kailangang maramdaman ng ating mga kababayan ang mabilis, maaasahan, at tapat na serbisyo mula sa pamahalaan,” he said.
TINGOG and the Office of the Speaker have reactivated their Relief Coordination Desk to support continuous operations in Metro Manila and nearby provinces, working closely with local governments and national agencies to ensure timely and responsive aid delivery.
As cleanup operations begin in many of the affected communities, families continue to stay in evacuation centers. TINGOG assured the public that its teams will remain on the ground in the coming days to sustain relief efforts and assist in the recovery process
