The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) delivered vital support to fire and flood victims in Sampaloc, Manila on 30 July 2025, reaching hundreds of affected families through its ongoing relief missions.
More than 300 residents from Barangays 581, 439, and 448 received assistance after fire incidents left many families displaced. PCSO Directors Jennifer Liongson-Guevara and Imelda Papin, along with Councilor Louisa Marie “Lady” Quintos-Tan, led the distribution of ChariTimba food packs and evacuation kits. These included canned goods, noodles, coffee, rice, mosquito nets, blankets, pillows, slippers, and other essential items.
The relief mission was part of PCSO’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, which aims to provide immediate assistance to disaster-affected areas.
