MALOLOS CITY- Ambassador Raymond L.S. Wang, representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office will visit Bulacan to lead the Rice Donation Ceremony dubbed as “Love from Taiwan” on March 15, 2012 to Calumpit and Hagonoy, the two towns most affected by the typhoons Pedring and Quiel.

Gov. Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado said that the province is thankful for the donation of the People’s Republic of China (Taiwan).

“Malaking tulong ito para sa mga talaga namang naapektuhan ng mga nagdaang bagyo, at

nagpapasalamat tayo na bagaman ilang buwan na ang nakalilipas ay patuloy pa rin ang mga tulad ng Taiwan na nagpapadala ng tulong para sa atin,” said Alvarado.

According to Provincial Administrator Jim Valerio, there will be two thousand bags of rice to be distributed to two thousand affected families from the said municipalities. Each bag contains 10 kilos of rice.
