The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1983 donated food items to the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) which will be distributed to various community pantries in Metro Manila.

Brig. Gen. Marcellano Teofilo, JTF-NCR chief, received the donations from PMA Class of 1983 president and Interior Undersecretary Bernardo Florece in a ceremony in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City on Tuesday.

The donation includes 150 sacks of rice, 6,000 cans of sardines, and 6,000 packs of instant noodles.

Teofilo thanked the members of PMA Class of 1983 for their charity, sympathy, and commitment to serving the Filipino people during these trying times.

Florece said the donations are just “a simple way from their class of reaching out to the community.”

“We would like to thank the PMA ‘Matikas’ Class of 1983 for this generous donation. This only proves that no one has the monopoly of generosity,” said Maj. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, Armed Forces of the Philippines deputy chief-of-staff for civil-military operations. (PNA)
