Last year, Pusong Pinoy had several relief operations for those affected by Typhoon Pepeng in Benguet and neighboring towns. In Mt. Kabuyao, homes were saved but the livelihood of so many was nearly wiped out. The fields and gardens were washed away, crippling the families of their only livelihood.
To help the residents of Mt. Kabuyao recover, Pusong Pinoy donated approximately P23,130 worth of seeds, distributing them to 60 affected families in Mt. Kabuyao. The seeds were turned over by PP Baguio-Benguet Team Leader BYD BAWAYAN. It was Pusong Pinoy's vision that these seed donations will serve as a long-term aid and a foundation for the affected families to build from, so these families may recover crops lost in the aftermath of the recent typhoon.

Around the same time, PP Baguio-Benguet Vice-Team Leader JOANNE SUYAM also organized a relief drive at her local church at Greenwater, Baguio City. They collected a sack of rice and grocery items which were donated to John Chamos and his two kids. Mr. Chamos lost his wife during the aftermath of Typhoon Pepeng (Parma). The goods were received by the kids' grandmother in behalf of Mr. Chamos. VTL Joanne also collected a total of 10 sacks/boxes of used clothings which were distributed to the community.
