In the aftermath of the torrential rainfall and strong winds caused by Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses, the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) launched the Oplan Bayanihan to provide assistance to those who were severely affected by these consecutive storms.
As a response to the moving plight of their fellow Filipinos, IEMOP took initiative and centralized its response efforts through the Oplan Bayanihan wherein its Board of Directors, Management, and employees sent their donations, both in cash and in kind, to help rebuild the lives of the families affected by the typhoons.
Through the generosity and cooperation of the IEMOP management and staff, the initiative raised a significant amount which was donated to the local government units of Cagayan and Catanduanes. Cash donations were also given to private entities such as the Project Sunshine, which aids those living in the evacuation centers in Cauayan, Isabela, and the Alfonso Maria Fusco Orphanage in Catanduanes. Likewise, a portion of the donations were used to purchase relief goods including facemasks and face shields which were distributed last 19 November among the affected families in San Mateo, Rizal.
As the Philippines moves forward from the disastrous effects of the pandemic and these typhoons, IEMOP remains vigilant in extending assistance to its fellow Filipinos who are most in need of help during these circumstances.
