GAWAD KALINGA ILIGAN OPERATION: WALANG IWANAN was the first in Bonbonon distributing relief goods to our Muslim communities, indigenous people and the farmers.

It was a great experience distributing relief goods to the flood victims of Bonbonon, Iligan City. The people and the Barangay  very cooperative and the operations were very systematic. And all those who received were documented and profiled following our sustained relief operations. All of these through the guidance and under supervision of MINDANAO HK WORKERS FEDERATION, an organization of OFW in Hongkong. With us: Atty. Samof BPAP Davao, Maam Myrna of MHWF, Sir Bert of ICT Davao, Ladislao Capalla Tabanao Jr., Jenny P. Densing and the GK Volunteers.

Register at the GAWAD KALINGA COMMAND CENTER AT GERONA TOWN CENTER (GTC), FRONTING ENANGS AT HINAPLANON, ILIGAN CITY near the Mandulog Bridge.


Big thanks to the Gawad Kalinga Team of Governor Uy of Compostela Valley for more than 200 sacks of rice, noodles, canned goods, mineral water, used clothing etc. They will be deployed to the hinterland areas of Iligan and we need volunteers to repack the relief goods.


At 3 o'clock in the morning today, a team from the ICTDAVAO, BPAP DAVAO and the Mindanao Association of OFW in Hongkong through theefforts of Maam Myrna and my 'agaw Aura Ablin, arrived with sacks of rice, mineral water and other relief goods in an 18 Wheeler Truck. From my residence, they will be transported to the GAWAD KALINGA COMMAND CENTER AT GERONA TOWN CENTER fronting Enangs at Hinaplanon, Iligan City near the Mandulog Bridge. If possible they will be deployed to the evacuation centers especially in the hinterland barangays in Iligan City. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO PACK THE RELIEF GOODS!

The farmers, indigenous people and Maranaos in Brgy. Bonbonon, Digkilaan, Rogongon, Mandulog and in the hinterland Barangays of Iligan City who were victims of Sendong Typhoon, NEED HELP NOW. They barely received assistance. I was there this morning in Bonbonon and I talked with them and they shared their stories and their pleas for food. I was with the GK Team: Sis Ingrid Raposala and Brod. Keith Salise. Hopefully the road will be good tomorrow and we'll have vehicle so that we can distribute our relief goods to them.

We need VOLUNTEERS to help the victims of the flood in Iligan City especially to our brethren from Upper Hinaplanon who barely received assistance. They are now staying at the Madrasa schools and most of them are our Maranao brothers and sisters.

Those who want to join us with our sustained feeding in Upper Hinaplanon, Cabaro, Bonbonon where most of the victims are Indigenous People, farmers, Maranaos; we will have a meeting tomorrow at 9 AM at Enangs Restaurant fronting the GTC at Hinaplanon. We need people to join me in profiling the area and the victims, cooks, food handlers and others. Contact me, Lorelyn, Sis Ingrid Raposala, Brod. Domi Reston, Brod. Jacinto Domingo Gerona, Brod.
