PAL airlifts donations to Marawi
Three weeks ago, President Rodrigo Duterte
declared the liberation of Marawi City and that it is now free from terrorist
influence. But the ravages of war is so much evident around the city, and clearing
and rebuilding it is now the main priority before allowing the return of the
hundreds and thousands of its displaced residents.
Leading charge in helping Marawi City is the country’s
flag carrier, Philippine Airlines (PAL), which is offering free airlift of critical
supplies and relief goods for the rebuilding of Marawi City. PAL is flying donations to Cagayan de Oro, for
transport by land to Marawi City, through accredited government agencies,
SEC-registered foundations, NGOs, non-profit, charitable, civic and religious
organizations.
The program, which covers airlifting of donations within the
Philippines only, is flying goods on space availability basis. Priority goods
are urgently needed items such as medicines, ready-to-eat halal processed foods and products, mats and blankets, water
purification tablets and equipment, hygiene supplies such as baby diapers and
other commodities which are
not readily sourced in the affected areas.
Donors may send an
email to the PAL Foundation at palfoundation@pal.com.ph indicating the
following details – name and contact details of donors/organizations, recipient
or consignee, contents and estimate cost of donation, weight, etc. They will be
given instructions on the schedule of shipment.
