Operation Sagip recently distributed relief packs as well as 1,800 Gusto Kong Mag-Aral backpacks filled with school supplies to displaced children who are enrolled in Pantao Ragat and Balo-i in Lanao del Norte as part of its Gusto Kong Mag-Aral campaign.
Four evacuation centers— the Gomampong Ali Gym in Balo-i and the Buruun School of Fisheries Gym, the Ma. Christina covered court and the Sta. Elena covered court in Iligan City—were also installed with viewing stations in partnership with SKYdirect. Operation Sagip donated four television sets which will be managed by the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office after the crisis, while SKYdirect provided satellite dishes for free.
