ATN Officer Penaflorida traveled to Yellowknife to personally hand over the Philippine government’s assistance to some 128 Filipinos who had lodged requests for assistance with the Philippine Consulate General. While none of the Filipinos were severely affected by the wildfires, they were among those who were forced to evacuate the cities and stay at evacuation centers where they either ran out of cash or incurred huge credit card bills to pay for their accommodations, gas, food, and basic needs.
