CABARROGUIS, Quirino, October 23 (PIA) -- Over 328 families in barangay Tucod here who were affected by typhoons Pedring and Quiel received food packs from Oceanagold Philippines, Inc. (OGPI), a mining firm engages in the exploration, development, operation, and production of gold and other minerals here and in Nueva Vizcaya. | |||
Brennan Lang, the OGPI general manager , said that the company wanted to extend assistance to the affected community in the form of relief goods. | |||
Lang said the food packs containing assorted goods such as rice, coffee, sugar and canned goods were given to the affected households in Lower Tucod who were listed by the barangay officials and the local government unit of Cabarroguis and validated by the company’s Community Partnership (Com Part) team. | |||
The firm’s general manager added that the Com Part team and their twelve (12) OGPI scholars from Quirino State College joined in the packing and distribution of relief goods. | |||
“We don’t only help our scholars get university education but also teaching them help their own communities through volunteerism work,” Lang stressed. | |||
Meantime, Lucita Exconde, community relations manager shared that the relief goods are just a small amount because the company also wanted to reach out and help other neighboring communities affected by Typhoon Pedring and Quiel. | |||
