The residents of Alamagan and Agingan had destructed homes and livelihood when super typhoon Choi-Wan wreaked havoc on their islands. Seeing the need to take a pro-active stance in helping these displaced residents, Tan Siu Lin Foundation launched a donation campaign that would provide aid to the displaced residents
The donation campaign was pushed through with the support of Tan Holdings President Jerry Tan. It was through Tan’s directive that the information about the donation campaign was disseminated to various companies under the Tan Holdings group.
The response of the affiliate companies was immediate; food donations were soon provided to the victims of the calamity.
Super typhoon Choi-Wan spared Saipan from destruction but the Northern Islands of Alamagan and Agrigan suffered a different fate as both islands experienced widespread damage from the said calamity.
