Masterpost of Info & Links (#OdettePH)
(Images of post-Odette Siargao from the Philippine Coast Guard page)
I will continually update this. If you are a survivor of Odette or in contact with people who are, please feel free to message me. You may talk to me in Bisaya. I will translate for you.
BLOG INFO: This is a blog dedicated to spreading information about VisMin (Visayas and Mindanao), two regions in the Philippines that are currently suffering from the aftermath of Super Typhoon Odette (known internationally as Super Typhoon Rai). Rai ravaged VisMin starting December 16, 2021. Rai also affected some parts of Luzon, but the worst damage was in VisMin.
WHO RUNS THIS? I am a young woman. I’m Bisaya, but currently do not live in Visayas, so I was not present for the typhoon itself. However, many of my family members are currently struggling due to Rai. I am fluent in Bisaya and will translate posts from survivors that I find, written in the language.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Bisaya is the native or second language of most people from VisMin, so they’ve been asking for help in Bisaya. The language barrier is one of the major reasons that their posts may not reach even local news outlets (the national language in the Philippines is Tagalog).
Apart from the language barrier, the poverty levels in Visayas mean that most victims of Rai have no electricity, water, phone data, or Internet right now. They’re having a tough time and they can hardly communicate. Please help them.
NOTE: Please remember that a small amount in your country’s currency may be a big amount in the Philippines. For example, $1 is roughly ₱50 and £1 is roughly ₱66. A single small donation could mean everything for an #OdettePH survivor.
