LIST: Where you can send donations, relief goods for ‘habagat’ victims

MANILA, Philippines — Several organizations, academic institutions and volunteers launched donation drives for those hit hard by the flooding and heavy monsoon rains.

The southwest monsoon or habagat which was enhanced by Tropical Storm Yagi, assigned the Philippine name “Karding” while it was within the Philippine area of responsibility, displaced thousands of people in Metro Manila and nearby areas as floodwaters rose.

Due to this, volunteers initiated donation drives for evacuees and residents from flood-hit areas.

Organizations are calling for relief goods such as medicines, water, canned goods, old clothes, toiletries, rice, hygiene kits and blankets. Some are also asking for school supplies and cash donations for the victims.

Here’s a compilation of social media posts where you can send your donations:
