Rotarians & friends respond to relieve suffering of 150 poor families whose houses had been razed by fire When word reached Rtn Jerry Sy that the houses of 150 families in a poor community in Sitio Maliwanag staging area, Western Bicutan, Taguig were razed by fire on January 19, 2018, he lost no time and posted an appeal to his RC Holy Spirit family. The appeal came from Fr Rey Angeles, chaplain of the San Lorenzo Ruiz Chapel, who has been catering to the spiritual needs of the poor community for the last four (4) years. For many years now, this community has been receiving assistance from PP Chinchin Jurado, PP Beth Sy and
Chair Jerry Sy of Holy Spirit. On January 25, 2018, PP Marcia Salvador, PP Beth Sy and Chair Jerry Sy visited Fr Rey bringing boxes of relief goods from RCHS members for the affected families. The relief goods consisted of rice, groceries, assorted clothes, towels, shoes and babies’ blankets. Fr Rey related how the small, improvised chapel was miraculously spared by the fire and how the winds blew the flames away from the chapel
