The relief operations were conducted by the Iglesia Ni Cristo in the affected communities in Metro Manila, Rizal and in 10 other provinces including Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Cavite, Laguna and Batangas.

[Whenever help is called for, whenever people is in need, whenever calamities strike, the Iglesia Ni Cristo is always there to assist,]" INC Minister Glicerio B. Santos said.
