Even for residents of Marikina City - such as these youngsters who sought temporary shelter at the Malanday Elementary School last Wednesday, July 24 - who were used to flooding during the rainy season, this week's rains brought back the nightmare caused by typhoon "Ondoy" in 2009.

WORSE THAN 'ONDOY'

The International Federation of Red Cross is raising P1.08 billion (or 20 million Swiss francs) for some 1.8 million Filipinos badly- affected by typhoon Odette (international name Rai) in the Visayas and Mindanao to help restore their lives and properties and provide immediate relief.

Lack of food, water and shelter 

THE ‘poor’ emergency response of the government (limited relief packs and inadequate shelter kits) against the immense emergency need of the thousands of victims of Typhoon Odette in Southern Leyte will likely drag the horrid aftermath for weeks.

The budget department is unsure that the funds committed by President Duterte for the relief and rehabilitation of areas ravaged by Typhoon Odette (international name Rai) can be released by Friday, as promised.
