Over 500 families from Fuga Island in Aparri, Cagayan recently received grocery packs from the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) through the assistance of the Marine Battalion Landing Team (MBLT)-10, Philippine Marine Corps stationed in Northern Cagayan. As part of their development support operations and bayanihan efforts, MBLT-10 and Naval Task Group Fleet-Marine Cagayan spearheaded the "All-in-One Mission" in Fuga Island where they partnered with the PSF to provide support to the Fuga Island residents. Fuga island is part of the Babuyan archipelago which is the second northernmost island group in the Philippines. Most of the 2,000 residents in Fuga live below the poverty line with limited access to education, health services and basic needs.
