The Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), in partnership with leading logistics and transport provider 2GO, facilitated the transport of a mobile treatment plant (MTP) to communities ravaged by the recent eruption of Mt. Kanlaon.

Deployed by the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) to several barangays in Negros Oriental, MTP is a vital portable water purification system designed to provide clean drinking water to communities suffering from water shortage due to the disaster. This system also helps prevent potential health risks associated with water contamination and inadequate sanitation.

2GO transported the MTP from Manila to Bacolod, ensuring timely arrival for immediate deployment. The company also provided accommodations for personnel from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, enabling them to carry out their relief operations on the ground effectively.
