On November (2013) a super typhoon shocked the
world, It had the International name Haiyan, but
in the Philippines it was known as Typhoon
Yolanda. The strongest tropical cyclone ever
recorded, it is the thirtieth storm of the 2013
Pacific typhoon season. It originated from an
area of low pressure several hundred kilometers
east-southeast of Pohnpei in the Federated States
of Micronesia on November 2, 2013.

• When Yolanda entered the Philippine Area of
  Responsibility (PAR), on November 07, 2013 it had
  a Wind Scale of 10-minute sustained 230 km/h and
  a 1-minute sustained 315 km/h (195 mph). The
  Typhoon inflicted a devastating destruction in
  the Visayas Region particularly Samar and Leyte.
  The UN Official reports an estimate of about 11
  million people who were affected. A majority of
  them were left homeless with 6,340 confirmed
  fatalities and a total of 1,061 still missing.

• Despite this huge devastation, the Filipino
  spirit stood out. With the resilient effort and
  traits of the Filipino people, the nation united
  to extend a helping hand to the victims. Ulticon
  Builders Inc. also decided to join in and help.
  There was an overwhelming outpour of relief goods
  so the company of Charlie Gonzales of Davao
  decided to help through another means.

• By collaborating with the Manila DPWH along with
  the other Region 11 DPWH Contractors, UBI, Inc.
  hired a company to construct a bunkhouse, with
  the specification DPWH standards. The bunkhouse
  included partitions that paved a way to
  accommodate several rooms. This humble effort was
  started in a matter of weeks.

• We hope and pray that the extended efforts were
  able to help the victims start anew. This Ulticon
  donation does not end in that bunkhouse though,
  the company vows in doing its best to help in
  providing the necessary aid for present and
  future calamities whenever the need arises.
