Marawi siege-hit families receive new blankets and nets

With cooler nights ahead, thousands of families affected by the Marawi siege can now keep warm and safe as The SM Store together with SM Foundation and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) donated a total of 6,800 pieces of blankets and mosquito nets worth P1 million.

In a ceremonial turnover held at Cagayan De Oro, SM Mindanao’s German Bacsid Jr. formally handed the boxes of blankets and mosquito nets to DSWD Region 10 Director Nestor Ramos and to some of its beneficiaries. This was followed by an on-site visit and distribution at Lanao Del Norte, Iligan and Marawi City lead by Assistant Vice President for Livelihood and Outreach Programs Cristie Angeles.
