Bangon Bayan is an initiative of the Sigma Kappa Pi Fraternity and the Sigma Delta Pi Sorority UP Manila Chapter as a quick response to address the immediate needs of our country during all types of crisis, not limited to natural calamities and disasters.
As part of both organizations’ objective to be of service to the Filipino people, Bangon Bayan is a promising platform to encourage the Filipino community to embody the spirit of unity, generosity, and camaraderie especially in trying times.
During this extraordinary time of a pandemic, Bangon Bayan launched the BIGAS DRIVE para sa PUV Drivers which was able to garner a total of Php 530, 771. 35 in cash donations. The initiative was able to procure 400 sacks of rice that were distributed to 21 PUV groups with routes going through the cities of Manila, Taguig, Pasig, and Quezon reaching a total of 2, 829 families. Bangon Bayan also reached out to 475 security personnel in UP Diliman through the UP All Workers Union, providing them with rice and sets of disinfecting kits.
Bangon Bayan is now directing its resources to other COVID-19 relief efforts catering to different sectors that are also heavily affected by the pandemic. As part of our nationalist orientation, Bangon Bayan serves as a reaffirmation and a call to be proactive forces of the nation, always capable to rise above the storm.
