The Provincial Government of Abra, in partnership with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Department of Social Welfare and Development–Abra (DSWD-SWAD), and Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), brought essential relief assistance to hard-to-reach communities in Tineg, Malibcong, and Lacub.

Vice Governor Anne A. Bersamin personally joined the helicopter-assisted delivery, helping ensure that aid reaches communities where difficult terrain and limited road access make ground transport challenging.

With the support of the PAF, S-70i Black Hawk Helicopters 755 and 762, led by Team Leader Maj. Jod Sylvester B. Dalmacio O-18206 PAF, successfully airlifted 3,421 Family Food Packs to remote communities.
