THE Delegation of the European Union to the Philippines and its humanitarian aid partners, together with retail giant SM, brought a message of hope and solidarity in the face of disasters withphoto exhibition at S Maison. The exhibition offers snapshots of the different phases of the EU’s relief and early recovery operations following the passage of Typhoon Odette over Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands, Bohol, Southern Leyte, Cebu, Negros Occidental and Palawan on December 16, 2021.
In the parlance of humanitarians, the “last mile” is the final stage of the humanitarian relief chain in which they make sure to reach the most vulnerable, wherever they are. European Union ambassador to the Philippines Luc Véron and SM Engineering Design and Development president Hans Sy Jr. led the exhibition opening, together with EU’s humanitarian aid partners.
Likewise, the exhibition is an expression of sympathy towards the victims of Odette and other disasters, “those who lost their lives, their loved ones, their houses and livelihoods, and that had to rebuild their lives often from scratch. Their fortitude amidst the pain and uncertainty shines in many of those pictures,” Ambassador Véron said.

The exhibition pays homage to the work of humanitarian workers in providing life-saving assistance in the aftermath of disasters and in helping communities recover. It also highlights the importance of preparedness, which was crucial in limiting the number of fatalities of a super typhoon such as Odette.
