VILLAR LED NP SAVES AND DISTRIBUTES RELIEF GOODS
TO 17,396 ONDOY VICTIMS

"As of today, Senator Manny Villar has rescued and provided foodstuffs and other relief goods for 17,396 victims as of 12 Noon Monday, September 28, 2009, covering 19 areas in Metro Manila and Cavite," according to Atty. Adel A. Tamano, one of the spokesmen for the Nacionalista Party.

"In fact, yesterday Senator Villar and popular TV personality Willie Revillame flew a chopper under bad weather conditions to give food and supplies to residents trapped by floods in Marikina, Cainta, and Pasig," Atty. Tamano added. He also said that while Senator Villar and Mr. Revillame were doing relief operations, he and Gilbert Remulla were distributing rice, noodles, water, and canned goods to informal settlers whose homes were damaged in Quezon City. Later, Senator Villar, Willie Revillame, Gilbert Remulla, and Atty. Tamano went to a barangay center in Quezon City to personally hand over relief goods to barangay residents.

According to Atty. Tamano, "Senator Villar and the NP have been relentless in their efforts to help the families affected by typhoon Ondoy. Senator Villar has used his own resources - without a single centavo from government funds - using his own trucks and personnel, among others. In fact, through Gilbert Remulla, the NP has obtained rubber boats to help in the rescue of the areas that remain flooded." People interested in donating food stuff and clothing can drop donations at Starmall Edsa,Shaw Blvd. in Mandaluyong City.

"Finally, we want to inform the public that there are Tulong Villar Relief Assistance hotlines (O917-8577368 and 0917-4226800) so that people can get in touch with us for the relief efforts." Tamano said.
