Typhoon Kristine struck hard in the Bicol Region and the province of Batangas in October 2024. Many houses were damaged and submerged in the flood, and many people were left stranded on their route to and from the Visayas and Bicol Region.

After the typhoon passed, some towns in the province of Camarines Sur and some roads remained submerged for several days causing heavy traffic along the Maharlika Highway from Quezon province to Bicol Region.

The RMN Foundation team was one of those who were stuck in traffic for two days, but this did not cause aid to be brought to the affected areas in Camarines Sur.

In partnership with RMN DWNX Naga and Metrobank Foundation, RMN Foundation conducted Oplan Tabang relief operations on October 29-31, 2024 in the following areas of Camarines Sur province where homes were submerged in the flood, and electricity and communication signals were lost:

• Municipality of Camaligan: Barangay San Francisco
• Municipality of Gainza: Barangay Sampaloc
• Municipality of Milaor: Barangay Balabag, Barangay Del Rosario, Barangay Flordeliz
• Naga City: Barangay Sabang

One thousand five hundred (1,500) affected families received food packs containing rice, coffee, biscuits, and canned meatloaf. The Municipality of San Fernando also received rice packs in collaboration with Pfizer (Philippines).

According to Ms. Eden Torallo, Barangay Captain of Brgy. San Francisco, Camaligan, the flood has reached the roof of the house, and the people are still on top of their homes. She also requests assistance with other necessities, such as medicines and clothing, in addition to food. The affected families express gratitude for the assistance they received.

Aside from Bicol, the RMN Foundation in partnership with Inner Wheel Club of Las Piñas Shining Diamonds District 383 and Pfizer Philippines also distributed aid to the following areas in Batangas.

• Municipality of Cuenca: Barangay Lumampao, Bungahan Evacuation Center
• Municipality of Talisay: Barangay Caloocan, Barangay Sampaloc, Barangay Leynes

The RMN Foundation is grateful to the following partners, donors, and volunteers who have helped make the Oplan Tabang relief operations successful:

• RMN DWNX Naga
• Metrobank Foundation
• Metrobank Naga
• Inner Wheel Club of Las Piñas Shining Diamonds District 383
• 902nd Coast Guard Auxiliary Squadron
• Municipal Government of San Fernando
• Pfizer (Philippines)
• FNK General Merchandise

There are still many families who need assistance. In addition to food, they need sleeping bags, hygiene kits, medicine, and shelter repair kits.
