  Our town Binmaley is one of the towns that was severely hit and damaged by the recent typhoon Pepeng and our kabaleyans really need all the help they can acquire during this natural calamity. According to a very reliable source of information, the underwater are mostly from the southern barangays of our town. Now is the time, friends reaching out friends and to reach out one another so we could help our less fortunate kabaleyans.

  Binmaley Association of Southern California of its entirety will step up to the plate and perform what it is capable of doing because we are more fortunate here in America (siopa ni kasi so ontolung ed saray kabaleyan tayo no ad sikati lan lamang dia ed America). As usual, BASC is always ready to lend two helping hands especially to our kabaleyans in time of need to fulfill our commitment. We believe that one of the primary goal of our association is to help our town during natural calamities so therefore ontotoktok ak ed saray kapuspusoan yo ta komon et pabalegen yoy puso yo ra ta pian natulongan na sayan kerew tan eyey na saray kabaleyan tiran walad calamidad tan segsegang.

  I strongly encouraged everyone to please give voluntarily ta piano natulongan tiray kabaleyan tira tan kanepegan komon so napigamuran. Before we will remit this fund for Operation Typhoon Pepeng for Binmaley, let us put out thinking caps on so we can make our final determination in choosing the best trustworthy person who will run the show for our kabaleyans and so I really need your inputs and feedbacks. Once we determined who that individual is, I will make an open dialogued or send him or her a separate correspondence via e-mail.

  Let us not forget the proper coordination with our Mayor and Mrs. Josefina Victorio, the Municipal Administrator for smooth and successful operation. Mabuhay ka Binmaley, Pilipinas, God Bless America and may God bless us all.
