Relief operation for fire victims

In the wake of devastating fires in Southridge and Sitio Bayan-Bayanan, the Zonta Club of Laguna, Philippines, swiftly responded by providing immediate aid and long-term support to displaced families.

Through the leadership of Club President Hon. Ann Matibag and Secretary MM Ambayec, the club distributed over 100 food packs and financial assistance of ₱2,000 each to 23 families. The leaders also personally visited relocation sites to assess additional needs.

In a follow-up effort, the club partnered with the Zonta Club of Las Piñas, the Congressional Office of Hon. Camille Villar and Hon. Ann Matibag to distribute more relief packs—this time including hygiene kits—and increased financial aid to ₱10,000 per family, supporting them in rebuilding their lives.

To further uplift the community spirit, the Zonta club hosted a “Bingo Bonanza,” a recreational event that brought together men and women in a fun, inclusive environment. With games, cash prizes and camaraderie, the event promoted community cohesion and provided financial support in an engaging, joyful setting.
