The Mayon Volcano has started acting up again with a series of eruptions since June 24, 2001 of which the biggest has been last Thursday, July 26, 2001. As of today, forty three thousand (43,000) residents have been displaced and forced to live temporarily in overcrowded evacuation camps. Although the Province of Albay under the leadership of Gov. Al Francis D.C. Bichara has been prepared for a situation like this, they are however facing food shortage due to the sheer volume of people and the extent of the damage brought about by the eruptions.
The League of Provinces is donating the amount of one hundred fifty thousand (Php 150,000.00). However, this amount is not much considering the number of people they have to help. It is in this light, that the League of Provinces is seeking your support, whether in cash or in kind to aid our fellow Filipino people who are in dire need of assistance. You can send your donations through the League Secretariat at Unit 2803 Summit One Tower, 530 Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong City or directly to the Office of the Provincial Governor, Provincial Capitol, Legazpi City, Albay (c/o Gov. Al Francis Bichara).
We would like to thank the other provinces that have already in one way or another extended assistance to the Province of Albay. We hope that you will respond and act favorably on this matter.
Thank you and God Bless you for your support.
GOV. RODOLFO P. DEL ROSARIO
National President
