Last August 7, a devastating fire tore through Sitio Wawa in Barangay Zapote 3, Bacoor City, leaving nearly 600 families homeless. The blaze, which began around 12:30 a.m., spread rapidly, causing widespread destruction before being declared under control at 2:55 a.m.
In the face of this tragic event, Zonta Club of Greater Rizal II, alongside Inner Wheel Philippines, was given the privilege to stand in full solidarity with the victims and the community of Bacoor City. We are proud to have supported the relief efforts spearheaded by Congressman Lani Revilla and her team, who have been on the ground offering aid and comfort to those in need.
As captured in the photos, volunteers from all walks of life came together to help distribute relief goods, ensuring that the displaced families were cared for during this difficult time.
This tragic fire is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities many communities face, particularly those living in densely populated areas with limited resources. Zonta Club of Greater Rizal II is committed to advocating for long-term solutions that not only help in times of crisis but also empower women and families to rebuild stronger, more resilient communities.
