Aside from medical aid, purified drinking water were also distributed to the residents due to the scarcity of potable water in the area.

Sisses in attendance during the relief operation in Hagonoy were (last row, L-R), Jeazelle Redondo (µΣΦ ’15), Reg Naval (µΣΦ ’15), Marianne Naria (µΣΦ ’14), Jaimee Palanca (µΣΦ ’15), (front row, L-R), Frances dela Cruz (µΣΦ ’15), Emma Magbitang (µΣΦ ’15), April Sales (µΣΦ ’15), Sheryll Manalili (µΣΦ ’15), Laya Zamora (µΣΦ ’14), Nina dela Cruz (µΣΦ ’15), and (seated) Zie Verzosa (µΣΦ ’14).

This relief operation is part of the Mu Sigma Phi’s commitment to impart immediate health and relief assistance to far-off communities, whether it is reached only by foot, or this time, by a heavy-duty army truck with wheels drenched in flood, passengers drenched with rain, and hearts drenched with self-denying service.
