“PAWS’ dedicated volunteers in Naga will be distributing these relief goods to pets and their owners in need of help over the coming days,” it said in a post.
Severe Tropical Storm Kristine has left the Bicol Region and other parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila, submerged in floodwaters as it crossed the country this week.
The tropical cyclone has brought torrential rains that have turned the region’s streets into rivers and engulfed multiple houses and establishments, causing what is said to be the worst flooding in Bicol’s history in over five decades.
