It is also the poorest of the typhoon devastated areas in Old Sagay. Since Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit the eastern Visayas on <span class=object>November 8</span>, 2013, little aid has reached this purok. The typical relief food package given to a family was 3kg of rice, 2-3 little cans of sardines and 2-3 packs of noodle soup -- a single day's meager provision for a family of 2 adults and 4 little children. Poor families extended the number of days they ate from this food aid by cooking the rice as lugaw -- i.e., rice boiled in lots of water.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Preferential access were given to the 150 trainees from the different puroks throughout Barangay Old Sagay by means of a ticket to relief food and clothing, eco-kalans and to food cooked from an uncovered eco-Kalan kitchen. This was perceived as an unfair distribution of relief aid in Purok San Pedro Beach where there are many poor and hungry children. I was still in Canada when I saw the photos of the <span class=object>December 27</span>-28, 2013 relief mission to Old Sagay, one of which was that of a little boy holding out a tiny piece of paper purporting it was his ticket that entitled him to a meal. I realized then that the barangay approach to giving relief aid had to change to the purok level. It was then when I decided to establish a covered eco-Kalan kitchen and feeding center in Purok San Pedro Beach with the capacity to feed its entire population of about 2,000.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:15.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#333333'>On <span class=object>January 9</span>, 2014, with support from the 302nd Infantry Brigade, the Eco-Kalan Project sent a Philippine Army truck loaded with building materials for the construction of a covered Eco-Kalan Kitchen and Feeding Center in Purok San Pedro Beach.
