A total of 92,266 soldiers donated P100 from their daily meal allowance of P150. Divided by 3 meals in a day, the amount they gave was equivalent to two meals, Army Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Zagala told Rappler on Friday, November 15. “Through our donations, we hope that these will somehow uplift the morale of the people. We urge everyone to extend whatever assistance they can in keeping with the Filipino 'bayanihan' spirit,” Alberto said in a statement.

As evacuees move into the temporary houses, schools currently used as evacuation centers will be freed up so classes can resume, Alberto added.
