Actress Angel Locsin once again leads disaster relief operations after she announced an assistance initiative for Filipinos affected by super typhoon Rolly.
On her social media, Locsin posted guidelines on how victims can receive PHP1,000 cash aid. Among those include sending a two-minute video via private message to the Facebook page of Typhoon Rolly Assistance Initiative to describe the current state in their area.
The receipient must also have a GCash account, as the aid will be transferred through the mobile app.

As many as two million people have been affected by Rolly’s onslaught. The provinces of Albay and Catanduanes sustained the heaviest damages during the typhoon, reporting widespread destruction in agriculture, homes, roads, and bridges. Rolly has also left several homes under piles of rubble and lahar from the Mayon Volcano in Albay.
A post from the official Facebook page of Congressman Fernando Tibor Cabredo showed the destructive force of nature at Travesia and San Francisco at Guinobatan, Albay, where Signal no. 4 was raised during the early hours of November 1, 2020.
“Devastations in Travesia and San Francisco, Guinobatan Albay due to intense lahar flow from the slopes of Mayon Volcano brought by Typhoon Rolly,” read the post from Cong. Cabredo.
Typhoon Rolly Assistance Initiative will be extended until tomorrow. Nov. 4, 2020. We understand that a lot of areas still don’t have electricity and no means of communication. Keep safe 💋 #RollyPH https://t.co/pSnOYLU1fl
