#rescueph

This is what's currently happening in Cagayan Valley, Philippines right now. This is caused by the previous typhoon Ulysses. The whole place is submerged in water. People are screaming for help, drowning, and some already died due to electrocution. And we need your help to spread awareness because there's only little to no media coverage at all.

If you can donate, here's a link to different donation drives and relief ops for Cagayan.

#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:

!!COMMISSION FOR A CAUSE!!

I’m opening up my commissions in order to help raise funds to help those who were affected by the recent typhoons that hit our country. All earnings will be donated to organization drives. I’m only taking 5 slots for now.

Reblogs are also much appreciated! If you’d rather opt out of the commission and donate directly, you can find more info here.

Hello there.

I apologize if this post is not my regular content, but I would just like to have a few moments of your time.

You may have heard the news about typhoons making landfall across the Philippines - causing untold destruction that has lead to loss of livelihood, property, and life in recent times. As we speak, there are still plenty of people braving the floods and sleeping on the roofs of their homes, waiting to be rescued. These people, especially in the far-flung provinces such as Cagayan, were caught off-guard due to information blackout that was only exacerbated by the shutting down of a major broadcasting company. All of these are happening in the middle of a pandemic that we are still struggling to shake off.

For the time being, I am currently holding a donation drive. I will be selling prints of my artworks, starting with my most recent art book. All proceeds from sales will be donated to Kaya Natin! Movement, a non-profit organization currently making efforts in post-disaster relief in light of the recent catastrophic events. The donations will be used to fund relief efforts in order to help the victims of these typhoons.

The book is currently available on Blurb, which is recommended for those who are based internationally. But if you live in the Philippines or would like a signed copy, then the Limited Edition is for you. It is currently sold out, but you can pre-order for the next batch of printing.

Or if you would like to donate without ordering my book, you can do so by donating to Kaya Natin! Movement through the link below.

Thank you very much.

BANGON, LAMBAK! 

Youth Advocates for the Philippines Region IV-B is conducting a donation drive for residents in Cagayan Valley and Aurora who have been severely devastated by Typhoon Ulysses. 

Last November 13 after the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses, seven gates of Magat Dam were opened, causing severe floods to surrounding areas in Cagayan Valley. The entire Cagayan Valley region is now under State of Calamity as the level of damage to infrastructure and displacement of residents are on a record high. Rest assured that your monetary donations will proceed to the target beneficiaries as we have coordinated with Youth Advocates for the Philippines - Cagayan Valley. Youth Advocates for the Philippines is a youth-led, non-profit, and volunteer organization that has been accredited by the National Youth Commission, the United Nations Major Group of Children and Youth, and UNMGCY-UNEP.
