#catanduanesneedshelp

[readerism]

Hello. Philippines has suffered through another storm, after going through the world's strongest typhoon just days ago, and left not only destroyed livelihood and properties but has also ended numerous lives. This happening in the middle of a fucking pandemic.

#CagayanNeedsHelp is currently trending in twt to help spread news to the national government, rescuers, and to those whose families are in the region that might be affected. Electric and communication lines are down and rescue is on going but slow. They have dispatched rescue teams across the region but it isn't enough. The flood has submerged an entire city about 15 meters deep. People have resorted to wait for help on their roofs. There are children, senior citizens, PWDs, and those who suffers from sickness, stuck for 3 days now with no food and water, hoping to be rescued.

People have retweeted and shared video clips, pictures, and even audio clips of people shouting for help in the dark. There are those who died drowning and getting electrocuted. Having no food and water is making it worse. Seeing these in the safety of my home makes me feel guilty of not being able to do anything. Hearing them cry for help and I could only do so much as help spread news and pray for them. We've raised donation drives for now but we still need to rescue a region.

I ask of you to help us spread awareness of what is currently happening in the Philippines.

Local hotlines we can spread to help reach rescuers:

❗Let us also be vigilant with the recipients of our donations. I heard news of scammers trying to disguise as donation drives to be able to steal money. ❗
