The daughter of first district Cong. Edgar Chatto and Balilihan mayor Pureza Chatto has thanked the donors who provided aid to those affected by the typhoon Odette.
She said several people in her town of Balilihan lost their homes. As a result, one of the urgent concerns is to find construction materials like galvanized iron (GI) sheets to repair roofs that were damaged by the onslaught of the typhoon.
Trisha said that there were kind hearted people who donated sums of money. She narrated that at least P390,980 in donated funds so were received from various donors.
“We used these donations to buy GI sheets, tarpaulin materials, umbrella nails, water tanks and other materials. We started distributing them to those who requested for assistance in the repair of their homes / roofs and the provision of drinking water,” she said in a Facebook post.
As Trisha thanked the donors, she emphasized that there are other residents whose houses needed to be repaired or rebuilt.
“There are still many more houses to be rebuilt and roofs to be repaired. For anyone who wishes to help Balilihan, please feel free to message me,” the daughter of the first district solon who is also running for vice mayor of Balilihan town said.
