"To delay the trial is to delay justice for both the Filipino people and the Vice President," the bishops said.

Thousands of families are affected as Mayon Volcano continues to threaten communities in Albay with ashfall, volcanic earthquakes, lava flow, and lahar.

•280,969 individuals affected
•68,956 families affected
•1,362 families are in evacuation centers

Behind every number is a family forced to leave their homes and rebuild from uncertainty. In this difficult time, your generosity can bring food, shelter, and hope to those in need.

Together, we can help rebuild lives.

Hindi lahat ng kwento ng sakuna ay nagtatapos sa pagkawala.
May mga ngiting tulad nito—hinubog ng unos, pero pinili na muling maniwala .

Sa likod ng bawat tulong, may dignidad na naibabalik.
Sa bawat tahanang muling nabubuo, may pangarap na muling nabubuhay.
