 Cordillera - Expressing compassion and solidarity for the victims of the Taal Volcano eruption, pocket miners from Mankayan, Benguet have extended assistance through delivering vegetables and other goods. 

In a post from Facebook user Ohlpie Daniel, trucks full of goods coming from the Association of Pocket Miners of Mankayan are being delivered to the victims of Taal volcano eruptions.

Miners from the municipality are inherently kind and generous to other people who are in need of help during difficult times. 

Although they earn little revenue from small-scale mines due to the temporary ban by government agencies, pocket miners were able to organize and provide assistance they can give to those in need.

Batangas was declared under state of calamity on January 13, a day after the Taal Volcano erupted. 

Many residents were displaced due to the eruptions and they are needing assistance such as food, clothing, medicines and many more.
