Filipino volunteers composed of mountaineers and civic minded groups helped in the distribution of relief goods in the island of Panay affected by super typhoon Yolanda.
Thomas Leonor, team leader said that they first visited small islands in Antique, including Caluya Island through the air drop operation.
"We are thankful that some volunteers had allowed us to use the chopper to air drop the relief goods to areas that were not yet reached by the relief goods provisions. We only need to pay P80,000 worth of fuel per hour for the operation of chopper," Leonor said.
Aside from the airdrop operation, mountaineers had to also climb the hinterlands in Libacao, Aklan just to reach out to the victims.
"We are planning to distribute relief goods to different communities in Panay and hoping we could make a difference," said Leonor.
Leonor gained prominence few years ago through his advocacy of walking long kilometers to gather donations for a cause.
