Aside from the damage to the livelihood and homes of thousands of people caused by Typhoon Ulysses (international name: Vamco), many animals like dogs and cats who were left to fend for themselves during the onslaught of the typhoon need rescuing, too.

In a series of posts via Instagram Story, animal welfare advocate Carla Abellana shared photos of animals stranded as floodwaters continued to rise.

The Kapuso primetime actress said, “Lord, please bless all the animals affected by Ulysses too. They are helpless.

“I cannot imagine the amount of fear and suffering, especially for those who were left locked indoors, left trapped in their cages or left behind tied up with a chain or leash.

“How will they survive the cold rain and the flooding?”

She added that if it is possible, she would like to be part of the rescue operations for these animals, just like when the Taal volcano erupted in January 2020.

“I desperately want to be out there to help. Just like during the Taal eruption early this year. But I can't this time and I'm having the same kind of anxiety again for the animals. Please send persons to help, them, Lord.”

According to PAGASA, as of 4:00 a.m. today, the center of Severe Tropical Storm Ulysses was estimated at 415 km West of Iba, Zambales.

Ulysses still has a maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 135 km/h.
