Most areas of the Philippines saw gloomy skies and rainy weather over the weekend, but some areas in the country experienced much, much worse. Typhoon Rolly, the most powerful storm to hit the country this year, has left millions of Filipinos displaced from flash floods, lahar flow in the Bicol region, and a death toll of 20 as of November 2.
According to the United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, around 68.6 million Filipinos were affected by the super typhoon, with 24.3 million living in the worst-hit areas. As millions struggle to recover from the devastation the typhoon has brought, you can send a helping hand from the comforts of your home. Read on to find out where to donate to help the Typhoon Rolly victims.
The Philippine Red Cross is accepting monetary and in-kind donations for residents in Albay and Catanduanes. Monetary donations can be done via online transfers through PayMongo, PayPal, Lazada, GCash, PayMaya, and JustPay. They also accept online bank transfers through the following banks: BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and Security Bank.
For in-kind donations, PRC accepts goods with an expiry date of not less than six months. You may send them to Philippine Red Cross Tower, 37 EDSA Corner, Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong City. The organization discourages donations of old clothes as they have more than enough to go around.
