More than 2,000 residents of Barangay 5 in Sipalay City expressed their thanks and appreciation for the relief assistance recently facilitated by Sipalaynon Sue Ramirez, and her boyfriend, Javi Benitez, of Victorias City.
The celebrity couple motored to Sipalay that was among the most badly hit by Typhoon Odette, with provincial consultant Albee Benitez, bringing rice and food packs, hygiene kits, and water.
The Negros Occidental provincial government and some private donors also provided assistance during the relief drive.
Sue and Javi personally led the distribution, interacted with the residents, and helped ease the pain brought by their traumatic experiences and losses during the typhoon, a press release said.
Former 6th District Rep. Mercedes Alvarez-Lansang also joined the aid distribution, assisted by the Sipalay Command Center, PNP, and BFP personnel. Barangay 5 officials and the Garina family of Sipalay helped coordinate the activity. | NND
