Tatak Kalamay delivers P.5M worth of rice to disaster-stricken Cagayan

Cagayan Provincial Governor Dr. Manuel Mamba and Tuguegarao City Mayor Jefferson Soriano were both present to receive P500,000 worth of rice donation from Tatak Kalamay recently.

Tonette Ramos of TK said that both Gov. Mamba and Mayor Soriano expressed their gratitude through a group of sugar planters in Cagayan that helped delivered the goods on behalf of TK.

The governor also extended his invitation to TK to visit the province soon so “we Cagayanos can thank you.”

Gerro Locsin, another convenor of TK, said that many of their sugar planter friends in Cagayan were badly hit and “we initiated a fund drive here in Negros to help them out. We here ought to be thankful that we have been spared by the five typhoons that struck our country.”

Ramos and Locsin also extended TK’s gratitude to their members for their generosity including to The Asociacion de Agricultores de La Carlota y Pontevedra (AALCPI), Victorias Milling Company (VMC), Mike Hinojales, Gerard Joseph Sarrosa, Railside, Andre Corro, and Dave Alba.

Tatak Kalamay is an umbrella group of sugar industry stakeholders in Negros.
