Malacanan Palace
January 16, 2009
A hundred students who were victims of the earthquake that devastated Sichuan province in the People's Republic of China visited Malacanan Palace and was warmly received by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The schoolchildren came from eleven secondary schools in the cities of Deyang and Mianyang that were devastated by the 8.0 magnitude earthquake last May 12, 2008. They came to the Philippines upon the invitation of President Arroyo when she visited the earthquake-hit region in China last August 2008. A series of activities kept the students busy in their one-week stay as part of the psycho-therapy and rehabilitation program for the young victims of the earthquake.
