Manila Water Foundation (MWF) continues to send water relief to thousands of families and military men affected by the ongoing crisis in Marawi City through its ‘Agapay Para Sa Barangay’ (APSB) program.
Three months ago, when the armed crisis that displaced close to 360,000 individuals ignited, MWF immediately deployed more than 2,000 gallons of clean drinking water which benefitted families currently residing in evacuation centers in nearby cities and provinces.
As a follow through, 12,300 units of 500ml bottles of potable water were also deployed for the sustenance of the members of the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police and troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
The transport of the said donations was coursed through the office of the Civil Relations Service (CRS) of the AFP and Task Force Marawi which took care of the distribution of the potable water.

“Nagpapasalamat kami sa inyong suporta at sana patuloy nating suportahan ang ating kasundaluhan. Kung titingnan natin, parang simple lang pero iba ‘yung dating ‘pag nalalaman namin na may sumusuporta sa amin. Nakikita namin na ‘yung ginagawa namin ay na-appreciate at hindi nababale-wala. Malaking tulong ito para tumaas ang morale ng ating mga sundalo,” he shared.
