Days after the devastation left by Typhoon Rolly, we now have to contend with rising floods and heavy rains from Typhoon Ulysses.
For people who are stranded and need rescuing and relief supplies, or those who simply need updates on the situation, here are the emergency hotlines in the Philippines you can bookmark and share. While we’re waiting for our government to step up, let’s help each other out, BBs.
