This arrangement is made possible through Project Tabang Bikol, a campaign in partnered with the Department of the Interior and Local Government and the Civil Aeronautics Board .
Private organizations, civil society organizations, people's organizations, and other national and local government units will have to get an endorsement from the DILG for Cebu Pacific to accommodate their cargo. In a statement, Interior Secretary Año said the DILG would be the donors' conduit in ensuring that donations will reach the local government units and affected communities.Food items: ready-to-eat food, canned goods, instant noodles, bottled water, etc.Shelter repair materials: plywood, G.I. sheets, nails, etc.Cash or monetary donations will not be accepted through the project.
Instead of buying the duterte Gulfstream jet, the govt. could have bought used cargo planes for something like this, rather than relying on private carriers.
