Save the Children Philippines has called for continuous and concerted response on the protection of children and their families who have been affected by the ongoing armed conflict in Maguindanao as local authorities and humanitarian actors expect prolonged struggle and further displacement in the region.

Save the Children Philippines Ambassador Ria Atayde joins Save the Children in a recent distribution effort to help the recovery of thousands of children and families in Catanduanes affected by the devastating impact of typhoons Molave (local name: Quinta), Goni (Rolly), and Vamco (Ulysses). Atayde is also celebrating her 29th birthday this month and has launched a fundraiser to continue to help children in need, especially those affected by the pandemic.

PACC Chairman Belgica emphasized and reiterated the urgent need to give flesh and action to President Duterte’s pronouncements on various occasions that he is dedicating his remaining months in office on two things: (1) combating corruption and (2) eliminating bureaucratic red tape.

The pandemic has greatly affected businesses, especially those of our member chambers and entrepreneurs. However, we are still doing all our best to extend support to our fellow Filipinos.

With the setbacks on the SDGs brought by the pandemic, the UNDP calls for the active participation of all sectors of the society, including the government, private sectors, and civil societies to ensure the attainment of SDG targets.

Promote better public health for faster Philippine economic recovery.
