2.  On December 04, 2012, a category 5 storm
made landfall in Davao Oriental. Known in the
Philippines as Bagyong Pablo, the most
powerful tropical cyclone to ever strike the
Southern Philippine island of Mindanao in that
year had winds of 280 km/h (175 mph). Many of
the towns in Davao Oriental were located in
coastal areas, and were badly affected. Patrick
Ronolo, a college student, was one of the
survivors who experienced the wrath of the
typhoon. “Scary- kusog kaayo ang hangin. (The
wind was so strong).”, Ronolo shared.

3.  The persistent torrential rains which lasted for
days and strong winds that came with it caused
landslides, destroyed homes and claimed
lives. It was a very traumatizing event for
everyone and no amount of words can describe
what the people of Davao Oriental went
through. As news of the devastation flooded the
media, our kababayan from different provinces
and regions of the country decided to help the
victims.

4.  Ulticon Builders Inc., joined the efforts in
helping our distressed fellowmen. Ulticon
humbly donated two trucks of relief goods
and hundreds of rolls of vinyl banners
(trapal). These were then used for the houses
that were left without roofs by Pablo’s strong
winds. In addition, Ulticon also deployed
trucks to Davao Oriental for a whole month
to aid in the distribution of relief goods

5.  Ulticon’s donation of relief goods and materials
to victims of typhoon Pablo is only one of the
ways by which it has shown its commitment to
live by its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Aside from alleviating the lives of people in
different rural communities through its Farm-to-
Market Roads or FMR’s, Ulticon makes it a point
to stand by our fellow Filipinos in desperate
times when a helping hand is what they need the
most according to Carlos Gonzales, the
President of ULTICON.
