Miss World Philippines Tracy Maureen Perez is raising her voice alongside the Miss World Philippines Organization in calling for aid for the victims of Typhoon Odette.

In her Instagram post, Tracy uploaded a graphic from the Miss World Philippines Organization in-kind and monetary donations for those affected by the natural calamity. The post listed bottled water, ready to eat food, rice, blankets, face masks, and alcohol as urgent relief goods.

In her caption, Tracy highlighted the plight of solo parents in Cordova and Argao, explaining that most of the international assistance will probably be focused on cities and provinces that have most of the media's attention. She also explained that cash donations will be used to buy relief goods in Metro Manila so that victims in the area do not need to worry about where to buy what they need.
