The Philippines has been hit by another typhoon right after the strongest super-typhoon ever recorded in history and this has been the aftermath on some of the provinces. It has been 3 days ever since and people and pets are still waiting to be rescued, please consider donating in one of these links and commissioning artists to help PH. We can't rely on our government anymore.

Seeing everything that's happening in the Philippines right now is very disheartening, so many people have lost their homes and their families.

The government did not prepare for any of this, in fact they keep on reducing the calamity fund for useless projects (such as the manila bay beach and the billions of funds dedicated for the police)

If you are in the Philippines, if you are able to help in any way possible, please do and to all those who live outside the Philippines who would like to help, do not send money to the government funded organizations because as of now, the government hasn't been very reliable when it comes to these situations. Please send donations straight to local donation drives.

Here’s a masterlist of verified donation drives!

Here is a twitter thread for more information on what is going on

Here is a twitter thread for international donations

I am very lucky and thankful that my family back home is safe now but at this moment there are so many people who are in need of your help. There's no food and no proper evacuation centers for those who were greatly affected so any form of donation to the organizations who are out there and helping out would be very much appreciated.

RESCUE PH!

These are also some donation drives. Please if you can, help my fellow Filipinos. Any amount will be appreciated.

[thegallifreyanjedi]

Not sure if there are people who still read my posts here (I seldom write here anyway) but this isn’t a rant. If you’re reading this, please spare a moment to pray for the Philippines. A strong and terrible storm has made landfall and has displaced many people from their homes. Many with young kids and babies are waiting to be rescued, fleeing to the roof of their houses, but that also means they’re still exposed to wind and rain. Rescue workers are scrambling and putting their lives on the line. 

Please say a prayer for my country.

Help the Philippines

Several strong typhoons battered the Philippines, especially Luzon, and caused billions of casualties through the typhoons Quinta (international name, Molave), Rolly (international name, Goni), and Ulysses (international name, Vamco). I know my account isn’t that big but I hope I could help spread awareness about my country’s situation in any platform I have.

#QuintaPH

A total of 242,220 residents or 57,742 families from 1,008 barangays in Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Western and Eastern Visayas were affected by Typhoon Quinta. Of the total affected, 65,579 persons or 16,830 families sought refuge in evacuation centers. Cost of damage to agriculture and infrastructure has also risen to ₱737.1 million, with Calabarzon bearing the highest cost worth ₱593.1 million. Typhoon Quinta partially destroyed 27,213 houses while 2,315 others were totally damaged. At least 330 passengers remain stranded in the different ports of Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Western and Eastern Visayas. (source: CNN)

#RollyPH

Rolly, at its peak, made 2 landfalls in Bicol region (Catanduanes and Bicol), prompting some 96,887 families or 372,381 persons to evacuate their homes. Some 147 houses were submerged in lahar and debris from Mt. Mayon. The country's 18th storm this year left an estimated P694.37 million worth of damage to agriculture in Bicol alone, according to the report citing the Department of Agriculture. (source: ABS-CBN News)

#UlyssesPH

Typhoon Ulysses, the Philippines' 21st tropical cyclone for 2020, began pummeling Luzon on November 11. Still reeling from Super Typhoon Rolly (Goni), Bicol was the first to face Ulysses' wrath, as the typhoon triggered massive floods in parts of the region. Ulysses then battered Calabarzon, Central Luzon, and Metro Manila, unleashing powerful winds and torrential rain that left neighborhoods submerged and people appealing for aid and rescue. (Source: Rappler)

150,000 farmers and 275,000 hectares of land have incurred losses amounting up to P10-B (~268 USD) after the devastations caused by Typhoons Quinta, Rolly, and Ulysses. That’s from agriculture alone, the losses from the massive flooding of Cagayan and Isabela are still not included in the computation. (source: CNN)

Massive flooding in Cagayan, due to continuous environment abuse

The massive flooding in Cagayan, the worse yet in 40 years, only shows environmental neglect. The biggest problem is the degradation of forests in both Cagayan and Sierra Madre sides. Today, the Cagayan River isn’t even visible as the region submerges in flood.

The province is the catch basin of rain water coming from Cagayan Valley and the Cordillera Administrative Region. Illegal logging has veeb a problem as well for the past 5 decades. The flooding has affected at least 179, 940 individuals in 26 municipalities of Cagayan. More than 11,000 families have been evacuated.

Several factors caused the floods, including recent tropical cyclones and tail-end of a cold front, which prompted the release of water from Magat Dam. Excess water flowed to Cagayan River and its tributaries, flooding communities. (source: Rappler)

Dam operators must be held accountable for Cagayan and Isabela floods

The widespread flooding in Cagayan that gripped the nation this weekend is partly being blamed on the massive release of water from Magat Dam. Typhoon Ulysses made landfall late night Wednesday, November 11, and by Thursday, November 12, Magat Dam opened 7 gates and discharged 6,244 cubic meters of water per second. Dams including Magat rushed to open gates only at the height of Ulysses.

Magat did not make sufficient water drawdown 2 to 3 days prior to Ulysses, as mandated by its protocol, because its gates were not even open 3 to 4 days prior to landfall According to the Magat Dam protocol, there should be a drawdown 2-3 days before the expected landfall.

They had 3 days in advance [to pre-release water], the forecast was made at least 3 days in advance. If you did not contain the release within 1-2 days only but rather within 5 days, then the rivers will be able to handle it better.

The panic on Friday night was partly due to a dearth of information coming from inside Cagayan, which national media had not physically reached at that time. The steady stream of updates only came from the Twitter feed of Vice President Leni Robredo, who herself was also only getting updates from Manila. (source: Rappler)

Save Sierra Madre, Stop Kaliwa Dam

Sierra Madre is the longest mountain range in the Philippines and it protects the country from strong typhoons. However, illegal and abusive deforestation is keeping it from maintaining its full functionality. Kaliwa Dam is proposed to be built along Sierra Madre mountain range, and the environment experts and the citizens are wary of its possible repercussions.

You can help us stop the creation of Kaliwa Dam by signing the following petitions:

Pampanga Needs Help

Just like what’s happening in Cagayan and Isabela, Pampanga is also facing the run-offs by massive floods from Sierra Madre, Tarlac, and Nueva Ecija. Water from Bulacan will go down to Macabebe and Masantol. Waters in San Luis, Pampanga already reached head level.

Citizen-blaming

Office of Civil Defense Asec. Casiano Monilla denies that government was caught flat-footed by Ulysses and shifts blame to citizens who supposedly did not heed early warnings. The prime duty of the government is to serve and protect its people. The government refuses to be held accountable from their own incompetence. There wasn’t even a proper briefing before the typhoon struck.

Sen. Gordon also told the public that “No one will take care of you or your family best other than you. Don’t rely on the government.” This also caused unrest in the citizens who wanted to ensure the safety of one another. Because it only seems that we always have to beg to be served when in fact, all the money circulating the government came from taxpayers’ hardworks .

Oust Duterte, Now

Amidst all struggles the Filipino people are facing right now, from the covid virus up to the cyclone casualties, all of it comes down with the toxic and overly romanticized Filipino Resilience. Additional disaster response are not even planned well, hence the lack of mobilization. The president has all the power to do so, with one word. But not only does he keep the people waiting during crisis, he also only does briefing during or after the disasters. This is why people ask, “Nasaan ang Pangulo?” (Where is the President?)

Fanatics defended the president from criticisms, when asking for his presence will always be a valid question, because we all want to see the response to those who need it most, and not some measly comment on how he wanted to swim with the Filipinos but can’t, because of his health. That is not the point. The president doesn’t need to swim in order to reach help to the Filipinos, he just has to tell all of the country’s rescue forces to hurry.

Addressing the Taal Volcano eruption — “I will eat the lahar and pee on the volcano.”

Addressing the Covid virus — “I will spit [on] and punch the coronavirus.”

Addressing the massive flooding and demand for accountability — “I want to swim with you but the problem is, they’re stopping me, because if I die, there is only one president.”

The Filipinos can no longer wait and laugh at measly hyperbole. People are dying.

Monetary support

Thankfully, independent rescue missions and donations were arranged by several individuals and organizations to lend a hand to those in need. One of those who were seen with initiatives is the Office of the Vice President who is in partnership with Bangon Luzon in Project Kaya Natin ‘To (We can do this). So if you’re looking for a trustworthy organization to donate for the victims of the typhoons, this is where you should donate.

I’m not one to usually do this but please! We need your reblogs! Signal boost this post and more! For the past weeks, northern PH has experienced 4 typhoons, with typhoon Ulysses/Vamco being the last and the strongest. Our brothers and sisters in Luzon are experiencing maybe the worst typhoon we have experienced in this decade. So, please please please. If you can’t donate in cash or kind, a reblog will do.

Adding more avenues to this post

and I am retweeting other avenues through my Twitter @tzcarpina

So I'll cut to the chase on this since a lot of people are dying, drowning, and screaming for help in Cagayan and Isabela, Philippines. A lot of them have also been stranded and are standing on their rooftops as we speak.

I'm here to post a collection of donation drives that I've gathered online. If we can't help them physically, we can at least make sure they have monetary assistance, food and clothing once they're evacuated.

This is how Cagayan looks, from recent photos (not mine)

TW: screams and shouts for help

HOW TO HELP

DONATION DRIVES

Please feel free to add on this post for any other ways to help.

For context:

The Philippines has been hit by three consecutive typhoons this month alone: Quinta, Rolly (Goni internationally) and Ulysses. It's been hitting nearly the same areas, which has made them even more vulnerable now that they're still recovering from the previous typhoons. Our mountain ranges couldn't shield us from this due to heavy quarrying and deforestation.

That said, these aren't the only places in need of assistance. But these are the places in urgent need of help. And we're trying to do as best as we can with what little we have.

I'll update this post from time to time for full transparency.

i’m sorry for just seeing this now! i think this was sent earlier bc i recognize it from other people’s posts. but i don’t doubt we still need all the help we can get (du30 sucks).

any help would mean a lot for the philippines, a signal boost or financial donation, as they’re still recovering from the recent typhoons and floods — the mentioned post (i’ll reblog it after this as well)!

A DOLLAR CAN HELP. IF YOU CAN, PLEASE DO.

People are dying in the Philippines.

I have posted donation drives here in my blog. Please, please, check them out and help.

One US dollar = 50 pesos!

With 50 pesos, you can buy 1 canned food, 3 eggs, and you'll still have spare coins left. A single dollar can cure the hunger of an entire family 🥺🙏🏻 Please help my country & spread this. Thank you so much!

[the-bi-fangirl-biatch]

If any of you noticed, another huge typhoon has hit the Philippines. The typhoon Ulysses has brought so much hardships and pain to its victims in the Philippines. Homes were destroyed due to the flooding and the wind. People still stranded on their roofs waiting to be rescued. And what's worst, it came right after typhoon Rolly ravaged the people. They haven't even recovered from one disaster, and then another worse one comes crashing through. All while there's still a pandemic going on.

Our government is sh*t. They're hardly doing anything. Our president is a no-show once again. They aren't here when we need them. So we decided to take it into our own hands.

People suffered at midnight. No news at all. (Because they (ph government) shutdowm the biggest most reliable media of the country. We didn't know what happened we didn't have quick responses!

Philippines is done to being resilient! We want the govt to hold accountable and admit! we want future plans! We deserve disaster management! We don't deserve rhetorical, inspirational, political shits. PEOPLE ARE DYING!

[capricornus-rex]

You all are probably wondering what's taking so long with the story that I just started...

And I only have photos to begin my explanation.

This is the aftermath Typhoon Vamco, otherwise locally named Typhoon Ulysses in the Philippines. And last November 12—this is what it did to my hometown, my house, my neighborhood... along with a few more provinces.

As of writing, there is no electricity across my entire neighborhood. The roads are ankle-deep with mud. The first floor of my house has drowned, so all wall sockets and the main circuit breaker have soaked. I don't know when power will return. Everyone affected has a long way to go in recovering what was lost.

Don't worry, everyone in my family is ok including myself and my 2 dogs. Most of our personal belongings are ok. Our kitchen appliances and furniture downstairs aren't so lucky.

All I'm asking is your understanding. I really wanted to continue the story, but as of now I have no means. I'm afraid of having overdue WIPs, but I have no choice but to keep it on hold—and as much as my heart aches to say or write it: I am forced to put the stories, the requests, etc on a TEMPORARY HOLD.

Right now, I'm only using data and not wifi, and I'm conserving it as much as I can.

I hope before December, power will be back and if that happens, I will be back.

I'm sorry, everyone. I'm just so heartbroken and traumatized about everything. This is the 2nd disastrous typhoon I've witnessed and experienced in my lifetime.

Thanks, you guys.
