Jakarta- The province of Central Sulawesi has been struck by a second natural disaster in the space of a week. After being hit by a 6.2-magnitude earthquake in Sigi regency, severe flooding has now inundated Parigi Moutong regency and the city of Palu.

RECENT extreme weather disturbances have recently resulted in loss in lives and property in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

The Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP), through the PHAPCares Foundation, earlier called on its members to again extend help to victims of massive floods in Metro Manila and affected Luzon provinces. Last week, the PHAPCares Foundation turned over P500,000 worth of medicines to National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRMMC). In coordination with our government partners, we intend to roll out a medicine donation caravan to assist the disaster victims.
