On St Nicholas day, May 22, Orthodox parish of St Matrona of Moscow organized the distribution of humanitarian aid to the needy families of Barangay Bukan in Davao city. More than seventy poorest families received food packages. Quarantined for more than two months, people in poor neighborhoods, unable to work or grow vegetables, are in a critical situation; many families have nothing to eat at all.
Before the action, the Secretary of the Philippine-Vietnamese diocese, hieromonk Cornelius (Molev) read the prayer for the end of the destructive plague and sprinkled the food and the area with Holy water.
Same action took place in Kiamba, Sarangani, by priest Roman Buniel and volonteers.
