“I am here not as a barangay chairman but as an ordinary volunteer of Tzu Chi Foundation so the happiness we felt when we were helped by Tzu Chi is the same as the happiness we are feeling now that we are helping, even for a small effort, in this relief operation in Kasiglahan,” Briones said.
“Nandito ako hindi bilang isang barangay chairman kundi bilang isang ordinaryong volunteer ng Tzu Chi Foundation kaya ang ligayang aming nadama nang tulungan kami ng Tzu Chi ay katulad ng kaligayahan na aming nadarama ngayon na kami naman ang tumutulong, kahit sa munting paraan lamang, sa relief operation na ito sa Kasiglahan,” banggit ni Briones.
