PCSO boosts disaster preparedness with Rizal emergency kit distribution

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) distributed 50 emergency grab-and-go bags to participants of the Duster Fun Run held on 7 February 2025 in Taytay, Rizal.

These emergency kits contain essential items needed for survival during disasters such as earthquakes or severe flooding.

On the same day, the PCSO, through the office of Director Janet Mercado, also provided 150 hygiene kits to residents of Barangay San Andres in Tanay, Rizal.

Taytay Mayor Allan De Leon expressed gratitude for the PCSO’s support, stating: “I am grateful to PCSO for its unwavering support and active participation in our community activity, which aims to promote inclusivity and ensure equal access to resources."

Likewise, Barangay San Andres Chairperson Sofia Dela Rosa extended her deep appreciation to the agency.

These initiatives form part of the PCSO's ongoing advocacy to provide aid and support to communities through its Gender and Development (GAD) program.
