Many Pinoys woke up today, September 26, with news about the devastating effects of Super Typhoon Karding (international name Noru) in the large part of Luzon.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA announced yesterday, September 25, that some areas got a Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 5 and experienced strong winds of over 185 km/h.

Karding made its first landfall in the area of Burdeos, Quezon, and its second landfall was recorded at Dingalan, Aurora.

On social media, several celebrities took part in spreading the information to public about the dangers of Karding and encouraged them to make the necessary preparations.

On his Instagram Story, Lolong star Ruru Madrid alerted his fellow Marikeños to be vigilant after the Marikina river level started to increase due to the excessive rains brought about by inclement weather.

Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Bianca Gonzalez-Intal also tweeted to their followers some reminders, too.

With this weather condition, here are a few things to keep in mind:

🔋 Make sure to charge your gadgets, extra batteries and secure all things na nasa labas ng bahay.

🏠 If you know anyone traveling right now, check up on they're location and ensure they get home safely!

Stay safe, everyone 🙏🏼 Kung may mga maaaring liparin ng hangin na gamit sa labas, ipasok sa bahay o i-secure, mag charge ng mga gadgets at magready ng ilaw o flashlight 🙏🏼

Kapuso actress Carla Abellana also asked pet owners to not leave their animal best friends behind during the storm.

She wrote, “Tuwing umuulan at lalo na po kapag may bagyo at/o kalamidad, PLEASE PO, wag po kalilimutang isilong ang inyong mga alagang hayop at mga hayop na wala pong matutuluyan.

“KUNG KINAKAILANGAN NIYO PONG MAG EVACUATE, HUWAG NA HUWAG NA HUWAG niyo po sila iiwang nakatali o naka kulong. Kapag ganun wala po silang pagkakataong iligtas ang sarili nila. Maaari po nila itong ikamatay. Hindi niyo po sila binigyan ng pagkakataong makatakbo patungo sa sarili nilang kaligtasan."

GMA Kapuso Foundation relief drive

Meanwhile, Start-Up PH actresses Yasmien Kurdi and Brianna, and Running Man Philippines star Lexi Gonzales posted on social media the relief operation being done by the GMA Kapuso Foundation.

According to the foundation, they intend to head to Polillo Island and Infanta, Quezon as soon as possible. They also plan to send relief goods to Dingalan and Baler in the province of Aurora.
