“Kahit walang kapalit na kabayaran, alam namin na talagang lilinisin ninyo ang inyong mga tahanan at kapaligiran,” pagbabahagi ng gobernador sa mga tao “Ngunit ipinakita ng Tzu Chi ang kanilang pakikiramay at sinabi sa akin, ‘Governor’, bigyan natin sila ng allowance bilang kabayaran sa mga araw na hindi sila nakapasok sa trabaho’,”dagdag niya.
