NOYNOY, MAR LAUNCH RELIEF OPERATIONS
'PISO PARA KAY NOYNOY' TO BE USED TO HELP ONDOY VICTIMS

Senators Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas today launched from Mindanao a campaign to assist and provide relief to victims of typhoon Ondoy which lashed at Metro Manila and Regions 3 and 4, flooding vital parts of the metropolis and displacing thousands of families.

"Ang pondo pong nalikom mula sa Piso Para kay Noynoy ay ilalaan natin para pambili ng mga relief goods gaya ng bigas, de-lata at iba pang kailangan ng mga kababayan nating nabiktima ng bagyong Ondoy," Aquino said after sorties in Tagum City and Bukidnon province.

Roxas also announced he and Aquino are converting their headquarters in Expo Centro in Farmers Market in Cubao, Quezon City to accept donations and relief goods for distribution to the victims of the typhoon.

"Magsama-sama po tayo at ipunin ang makakaya natin upang maibigay natin sa mga kababayan nating nangangailangan ng tulong sa panahon na ito," Aquino said.

Both Aquino and Roxas will fly back to Manila Sunday to help in the relief operations.
