Barangay Malawig, Coron, Palawan
Not many people know that TyphoonHaiyan left the Philippine area of responsibility through Coron, Palawan and with much damage. Many island villages felt most of its wrath as it exited the country in the evening of November 8, 2013. One of these islands was Barangay Malawig , a remote island community composed of indigenous people from the Tagbanua tribe. Due to the distance of this island village frommain town of Coron, it received limited attention and emergency assistance. It thus became a top priority area for us at Consuelo. Our management team travelled to Barangay Malawig on March 3, 2014 to personally distribute the relief and emergency assistance and meet the people from the serene island village.
