[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

The Ayta women brainstorm for their presentation on a situational role-playing session as part of the Psychological First Aid training.

Pastor Benny Capuno, a tribal leader in Porac, Pampanga, knows all too well the great distress his Ayta community goes through when an earthquake strikes. In April 2019, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake devastated Porac, affecting hundreds and killing 10, five of whom were from the Ayta community.
