Following the Typhoon Goni, as well as other Typhoons in the last few weeks, the local partner of Disaster Aid Australia (DAA), Balay Mindanaw travelled to Bicol to assess the situation.

They identified one of the worst affected Barangays was Barangay Bataayan. Over 100 tents have been provided.

DAA will be supporting rebuilding of homes with a $35,000 grant through Balay Mindanaw.
