Once again, the Philippines is facing a calamity. Taal Volcano, albeit a famous tourist attraction in Batangas province, erupted on January 12, 2020, spewing thick and damaging volcanic ash that has been spread by wind to areas even miles away, including the capital city Manila and nearby urban areas. But the most affected, of course, are the residents living in the different towns of Batangas and adjacent provinces. They have been evacuated and are now in immediate need of basic necessities. Livelihood is suffering. There is also the situation where some pets and animals, including farm animals, however, been left behind in the evacuation (thus also need help).
If you want to help, among the companies that are accepting assistance to be forwarded to the needy is the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the most popular Philippine newspaper. Details are below for any help that you can extend.
