Parilla said that the CCPO donation booth will be set up today so those who will be donating could also start sending what goods they might want to donate.
Personnel of each station under CCPO were also asked to donate a small portion of the basic needs like canned goods, water, and clothes.
“We are replicating the initiative of our regional director that is why we are also setting up our donation drive,” said Parilla.
CCPO personnel will be assigned to the booth to accommodate those who will be donating goods and also to arrange the donations coming from CCPO personnel themselves.
