This Monday morning, 26 September 2022, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s aerial survey showed that several northern provinces of the country are left with heavy flooding. The authorities are rushing to get aid to thousands of evacuees.
Currently reported, five rescue workers have died in the aftermath of the storm in Bulacan province.
Mr. Richard Gordon, Chairman of the Philippines Red Cross said that the bodies of the five rescue workers have been rescued by the government.
