Fisherfolk members of PAMALAKAYA in Cavite received relief goods from the Bayanihan Alay sa Sambayanan (BALSA), a humanitarian arm led by the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN). 

The relief drive was initiated to assist the Manila Bay fisherfolk who have been adversely affected by the Typhoon Carina-enhanced Southwest monsoon (Habagat), and the ongoing fishing ban related to the Manila Bay oil spill.

Going beyond relief drive, PAMALAKAYA said that it will lead grassroots campaigns demanding the national government an appropriate and timely humanitarian action, that includes people-centered disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation initiatives.

PAMALAKAYA earlier reported around 30, 000 fisherfolk and coastal residents devastated by Typhoon Carina and habagat, across Manila Bay. The affected coastal areas include Navotas City, several towns in Cavite province including Tanza, Rosario, and Bacoor City.
