Andy Immotna | Work… Life… Worship…

With power lines and internet connection restored and stabled last Friday (Oct. 16th), my team now is back to online work with much tasks piled up.

For days now, Philippine government and United Nations (UN) helicopters have been hovering around La Trinidad valley airlifting food supplies to a number of Benguet villages trapped and inaccessible by land.

Clearing of roads continues and relief goods distributed to towns severely affected by the typhoon.

With the university classes restored since Wednesday (Oct. 14th), students in Benguet whose families were not able to send food supplies from their hometown due to washed out roads, have been distributed with food supplies as well.

La Trinidad Benguet is about to be called a “tent city” with hundreds of tents put up in open areas for the evacuees to temporarily reside to. Setting of tents have started yesterday.

(Click on the image to the right to view the landslide that’s a few meters away from our apartment. Open area is where tents were being put up.)

We also had a chance to visit one the villages we were outreaching to. Along the tiny zigzag roads are countless mudslides that has been cleared out.

However, on two villages of Balluay and Bagong, we weren’t able to continue as massive landslide has washed out the road with gigantic rocks making the road irrepairable.

While on the site, a group of volunteers are carrying at their back sacks of rice, clothing, and food.

To view how massive the landslide is, click on image to the left.

The road which is usually passed by vehicles has now been buried by massive rocks and stones. People now have to climb a mountain of rocks and mud to reach out Bagong and Balluay.

There are many more villages which have been overlooked by major relief operations due to hundreds of towns and villages landlocked by landslides…

…and two of them is Balluay and Bagong, Sablan Benguet.

CALL TO ACTION: We have scheduled to bring relief goods to the two villages on October 30th. Join us leaving our “worlds” and reach out to the unreached people who are victims of Typhoon Parma (Pepeng).  Bagong Village has their ricefields washed out leaving hundreds of families of no harvest on this season and more villages of the same case.

Your financial support whether big or small counts. For every penny you’ll fund in this mission, you are a part in extending cure, comfort, and support to people who are physically left in the open.
