Mika Salamanca, Will Ashley volunteer in soup kitchens for families affected by inclement weather
Mika Salamanca and Will Ashley braved the weather to extend help to those affected by Typhoon Crising and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).
On Instagram Wednesday, Sparkle GMA Artist Center shared photos showing the “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” housemates taking part in food preparations.
“From the PBB kitchen to kitchens for-a-cause. Despite the heavy rains and in the spirit of bayanihan, Mika Salamanca and Will Ashley stepped up to serve — volunteering in two soup kitchens in Quezon City and Marikina for families affected by Typhoon Crising and the Southwest Monsoon,” Sparkle wrote in the caption.
Aside from preparing hot meals, Mika and Will also helped in raising funds online to support more communities in need.
Their efforts were made in partnership with the Angat Bayanihan Volunteer Network of the Angat Buhay Foundation.
The triple threat of Crising, Habagat-induced rains, and low-pressure areas contributed to heavy rains — and heavy flooding — in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
On Wednesday, PAGASA said three dams in Luzon continued to release water amid heavy rains due to the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat and a low-pressure area.
For those looking to donate to the victims of the heavy rains, here is a list of organizations with relief operations.
