MANILA, Philippines—Some 1,000 families in Calasiao, Pangasinan, were the latest beneficiaries of the Philippine Daily Inquirer relief drive for victims of back-to-back Tropical Storms “Ondoy” and “Pepeng.”

“The area is no longer flooded, and the main roads are no longer that muddy, but traces of the tragedy are still there,” said Cita Goyagoy of Inquirer’s editorial group, who distributed relief goods, used clothing and blankets along with 13 other Inquirer volunteers Wednesday.

More than 13,000 families have been given relief packs containing rice, canned goods, biscuits, noodles, water, coffee and sugar in Pasig, Quezon City, Marikina and Taguig in Metro Manila, and in the provinces of Laguna, Rizal, Bulacan and Pangasinan since the relief drive began on Sept. 29.

To date, the drive has received about P2.9 million in cash donations and donations in kind, ranging from rice and canned goods to clothes and toiletries from individuals and companies.

The Inquirer is still accepting donations of canned goods, rice and water for future relief missions. Donors may send relief goods to the Inquirer main office at 1098 Chino Roces Avenue corner Yague Street in Makati.

Goods may also be dropped off on weekdays at the following Inquirer classified ad branches: G/F Atrium Building on Makati Avenue in Makati; 5/F Building B, SM Megamall on Edsa in Mandaluyong; G/F Trinity Building on Kalaw Avenue in Manila; and St. Anthony’s Building on Aurora Boulevard in Cubao, Quezon City.
