In response to the devastation caused by 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗼 in November 2024, the 𝗨𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮 spearheaded a disaster relief initiative in 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗻, 𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗮, on Jan. 16, 2025. This activity aimed to provide assistance to affected communities, offering much-needed support in the form of relief goods.

The success of this initiative would not have been possible without the assistance of the School of Health Sciences (SHS) Baler campus and the National Service Training Program (NSTP) of University of the Philippines (UP) Manila, whose dedication and collaborative efforts greatly enhanced the program’s reach and impact. 

Ugnayan ng Pahinungod Manila also extends its heartfelt gratitude to the volunteers who assisted them during the activity, displaying resilience and compassion and helping ensure the success of the relief initiative, achieving the goal of standing “UP” as one with Dinadiawan residents.#
