Amidst the catastrophic events caused by the eruption of Taal Volcano in Batangas, we also witnessed some good news surfacing every now and then — stories of people helping each other through the hard times or of people lending their time and effort to help the victims. Though the situation is still unfolding, it’s good to know that there is no shortage of heart-warming news, of stories that show us that the Filipino bayanihan spirit is not dead. Here are some of the internet posts that will surely put a smile on your face and, hopefully, restore your faith in humanity.
We’re already aware of how hazardous ashfall can be to our health. With that, our beloved Angkas riders came out to help and gave out free face masks for us.
Aww! Thanks @angkas

This man also caught the hearts of netizens when he was captured on cam giving away free face masks despite his disability.
Oh, and if you have some cash to spare, let’s not forget about our beloved pets too!
N95 Mask is a must. But let us also not forget our fur babies during these struggling times because they are not excluded from having breathing and respiratory problems caused by the receny ashfall ❤ Keep safe everyone!!!! pic.twitter.com/WiyAk9eJFV

One of the biggest hazards of ash fall is impaired vision when driving. And you can’t just clean it off with your windshield wipers because it’ll only spread the ash and even damage your windshield. Thankfully, some citizens were kind enough to lend a hand in cleaning up and making sure that motorists were safe on the road!

If you’re low on funds but still want to help, then maybe consider lending your time instead. Many relief good centers are looking for volunteers in repackaging donated goods and it sure would be a better use of your spare time.
