A comprehensive response will continue to be provided as a result of the convergence of the manpower and resources of the government, non-government organizations and volunteers.

Bonoan thanked the volunteers for their continued services to the IDPs.

“We appreciate the quick response of our partner national agencies, local government units and more importantly, the volunteers and donors who showed our kababayans that through our collective efforts and resources, we can provide them our humble care,” Bonoan said.

For their part, the volunteers vowed to continue their services for the IDPs.
