Demonstrating swift solidarity, the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) and allied civic groups have rallied ₱10 million in emergency aid for communities devastated by recent catastrophic typhoon flooding nationwide.
The initiative, coordinated under the Pilipino at Tsino Magkaibigan Foundation, saw among its on-going major deployments on July 31, 2025.
FFCCCII President Dr. Victor Lim and other Filipino Chinese community civic leaders personally delivered 10,000 bags of rice to Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, providing immediate sustenance to displaced families in the capital.
HARDEST HIT PROVINCES
The ₱10 million fund—immediately pooled by FFCCCII and leading Filipino Chinese civic and cultural organizations—is actively channeling vital relief resources to hardest-hit areas across Metro Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union, and other provinces.
Relief operations prioritize urgent humanitarian assistance to evacuation centers and isolated communities.
Last month, FFCCCII President Victor Lim also led Bacolod Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce and other Negros Filipino Chinese Chambers to donate construction materials to help rebuild thousands of homes affected by Kanlaon volcano disturbances in five Negros cities and municipalities—La Castellana town, La Carlota City, Bago City, Kanlaon City and Moises Padilla town.
UNWAVERING BAYANIHAN SPIRIT
Victor Lim and Bacolod City Mayor Greg Gasataya also presided over donation of a new seven-storey, 100-feet hydraulic high-rise ladder capacity modern fire truck to the Bacolod Filipino Chinese Volunteer Fire Brigade from the Dr. Manuel S. Lo family of Grace Pharmacy Bacolod and Merzci Bakeshop.
“This outpouring of support reflects our community’s unwavering bayanihan spirit,” stated FFCCCII President Victor Lim. “When Filipinos suffer, we should all stand united—delivering not just aid, but hope for fast and full recovery.”
The mobilization underscores the Filipino Chinese community’s deep commitment to national resilience, targeting both immediate relief and long-term rehabilitation for thousands affected by the disaster.
