The Comfac Global Group management and employees recently conducted a fund drive to raise cash and relief goods for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy (international name: Ketsana).
Typhoon Ondoy brought down its wrath on Metro Manila and dumped 8 hours of heavy rains equivalent to 455 millimeters (against 255 millimeters of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, USA), causing massive flooding in the metropolis and nearby cities. More than 300 people died, and millions lost in terms of damage to crop and properties.
The management sent its delivery trucks to fetch affected employees in the flooded areas, and later distributed relief goods and cash assistance to affected employees living in Marikina, Cainta, Pasig, Montalban, Bulacan, and Quezon City.
