“We used to just receive food as relief aid from other organization, but never anything like these household items. I am sincerely thankful because they are willing to provide help to people who are calamity stricken and I also extend my gratitude to Master Cheng Yen. We were given hope to start anew; even though we lost a lot of belongings, I am thankful that we are all safe,” ended Batua-an.
“Ang natatanggap lang namin ay mga pagkain ngunit wala ang mga gamit na tulad nito. Maraming salamat dahil wala silang pinipiling taong tutulungan sa panahon ng kalamidad at maraming salamat din kay Master Cheng Yen. Nabigyan kami ng pag-asa na magsimulang muli; kahit maraming bagay ang nawala sa amin ay nakaligtas kaming lahat,” pagtatapos niya.
