A few days later, tropical storm Pepeng hit the northern island of Luzon, causing massive flooding and destruction. The storms are reported to have affected nearly four million people. In response, SGI-Philippines members promptly organized their own relief effort, delivering rice and other emergency supplies to people in the affected areas.
