Emmanuel John Gregorio, Senior High Student Council President, explained why did they felt the need to help the victims of the calamity.

"As SSC officers, napagdesisyunan namin na what if mag start sa amin [yung pagtulong] since kami naman ang nagli-lead sa mga students ng school" Emman replied.

"Syempre hindi lang naman mga adults yung nasalanta dun, may mga students din dun ultimo mga preschoolers... Gusto namin as a student na nakakapag-aral pa nang matino ngayon na matulungan sila at kahit papano mabigyan sila ng mga pangangailangan nila sa pang araw-araw kahit na for a short period of time." he added.

Rachelle Anne Biso, Junior High School Student Council President, responded to the question as well.

"Why not na gawin namin yung oppurtunity na yun para mapakita namin lahat na tulungan tayong mga Pilipino. Hindi lang bilang isang Pilipino kundi bilang mga students na kayang tumulong... tutulong talaga kung kailangan [na] ng tulong." she answered.

Jarmmeth College Inc. is a school located in the City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.
