ORAS, Eastern Samar –
The 14th Infantry (Avenger) Battalion under the leadership of Lt. Col.
Ronnie T. Ebarita, Acting Commanding Officer rendered manpower and
security assistance to the Metrobank Foundation during the
distribution of Bags of Blessings to the four hundred (400) residents
of Guiuan, Eastern Samar on February 20, 2016.
The program kicked off with
a holy mass followed by the distribution of bags of blessings which is
a nationwide event anchored on Metrobank Bank Foundation primary
corporate social responsibility with the active participation of the
Philippine Army, Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines and
other stakeholders.
It can be recalled that in
2013, Guiuan was struck by super typhoon Yolanda that brought tragic
loss of numerous precious lives and destruction to the properties as
well as to local farmer’s agricultural farm products. The Bags of
Blessing were distributed in front of the Guiuan Church and the
beneficiaries were very thankful for these philanthropic endeavors.
Lt. Col. Ebarita mentioned
that “the Army promotes the safety and well-being and attainment of a
quality and progressive life of Guiuananon.”
