LOS BAÑOS, LAGUNA - Various student organizations and people’s party-lists conduct a relief and rehabilitation mission under the banner of Serve the People Brigade (STPB) as part of the celebration of the upcoming International Youth Day on August 12.
The STPB is an initiative providing immediate relief to the provinces of Southern Tagalog, particularly Laguna. Stationed at the Vega Center in Los Baños, it primarily seeks to collect relief goods and to invite volunteers for the relief distributions.
“The youth of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) and nearby communities launched this project to relive the true essence of bayanihan among the Filipino youth.” Allen Lemence, League of Filipino Students-UPLB spokesperson, and one of the coordinators of the STPB said. He also added that this activity serves as a clear manifestation that the mobilizing force of the people, when spearheaded by the youth, can surpass even the fiercest storms.
As of 7:01PM today, Lemence said that the STPB had a total of 133 walk-in donors, financial donations amounting to more than 15,000Php, and 200 relief packs in four multi-cabs full of clothes and goods. The STPB also had more than 100 volunteers today who helped in publicizing the endeavor, packing relief goods, going house-to-house to solicit goods and other resources.
The relief distribution in Mabitac, Laguna and Barangay Tadlac, Los Baños is scheduled tomorrow. More than a thousand families will receive the relief packs.
“Given the overwhelming support of the UPLB community and nearby communities, the STPB is in need of more donations and more volunteers in the relief distributions for the upcoming days. More so, we call on UPLB students to come out, help and continue upholding the mark of every Iskolar ng Bayan in serving the people.” Lemence concluded.
The STPB is expected to continue receiving donations and relief goods for the whole month of August. #
