Earlier this year in February, Sr Jessica Salvana, Provincial of the Cambodia, Myanmar Province met up to thank Secretary Coloma for his invaluable help in collaboration with the Customs Commissioner Alberto Lina, in the successful clearance for 16,000 brand new pairs of CROCS footwear as a gift from ACTS Singapore for the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan.
Since then the distribution of CROCS footwear has been made steadily throughout the province of Leyte, Sama, Iloilo, Negro, Palawan, Pampanga and Mindoro.
As the cliché goes, a picture tells a thousand words, here are some pictures capturing the moments when the people of Manila receive their pair of happy footwear.
