Wazzup Pilipinas!
On New Year's Day, three cities in Negros Island were ravaged by floods as high as 10 meters. While the waters have receded, locals still need immediate help.
We are knocking on your hearts! Negros Occidental was flash flooded for the 2nd time this month. Residents are still rebuilding after the devastation of the January 1 flood when this stronger flood came.
The continuous flooding in Negros is exacerbated by hard pouring rains. Areas in Northern Negros are flooding.
Talisay, Victoria and Silay are experiencing heavy floods due to heavy rainfall. And EB Magalona too guys. Magkalapit silang apat na cities.
2021 has seen TWO intense flash floods submerge the cities of Talisay, Silay, and Victorias in just one week. Many parts are still underwater, with residents taking shelter in bus terminals, gyms, and outside shopping malls.
There's a continuous rise of water in due to incessant rain and flooding in Negros Occidental for the past few days.
The people need rescue as soon as possible! They are in need of assistance and rescue kasi umaabot na sa level 5 yung tubig.
Waters are continuing to rise in different parts of Negros, leaving thousands stranded inside their homes.
If you guys have relatives/friends in the cities mentioned, you can call these emergency hotlines for assistance.
In light of the recent flooding in Talisay City, we are once again asking if you may kindly donate to help our Negrosanon kasamas.
If you have any to spare, please donate to the appropriate channels. The beneficiaries are affected areas will be grateful.
