The Impact of Typhoon Pepito: Rising Together as One Community

Typhoon Pepito is a harsh reminder of how vulnerable many communities are to the impacts of natural disasters. For places like Gigmoto, each storm erodes not only homes and livelihoods but also the hope of recovering fully. Yet, even in the face of such immense challenges, their resilience inspires action.
These communities—families, children, and individuals—are striving to rebuild and rise again. As Good Neighbors, it is our shared responsibility to stand by them in their time of greatest need.
