Following an initial wave of relief efforts, several Manila-based Aboitiz team members traveled to Calaca, Batangas last January 25 to turn over more relief packages to residents affected by the Taal volcano eruption. Over 5,200 residents in 14 evacuation centers received relief packages, as well as art materials and toys.
It took the simplest of gestures to make a difference. I am beyond grateful that I was able to join the Aboitiz Foundation’s initiative to help our kababayans in Batangas. The bayanihan spirit is truly alive and well.

“Our assistance to Batangas in the wake of the Taal Volcano eruption continues with our turnover of relief packages in Calaca, Batangas. We hope that with the presence of our team members, we were able to bring a bit of hope and cheer to our Batangueño brothers and sisters,” said Maribeth L. Marasigan, Aboitiz Foundation President and Chief Operating Officer.
Earlier, the Aboitiz Group’s business units have conducted Taal relief efforts covering a wide area. Read more on it here.
