Announcement: Cancellation of 2013 Annual Allottees' Family Day

To our crew, allottees and all the members of the IOTC family, 

We regret to inform you that this year our annual Family Day will not push through. Although there is much to celebrate with you over the successes we've had these past twelve months, the recent typhoon over the Eastern Visayas Region has left most of our friends and countrymen homeless, without food and shelter.

IOTC has seen this period as a time in which our resources can be used to help those who are most needy. 

We hope you understand and if there are any instances where you would need our assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your support and we wish you a happy holiday season"
