QC churches opens doors to evacuees affected by inclement weather

Some Catholic churches in Quezon City provided temporary shelters to evacuees affected by the bad weather brought by the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).

In a social media post, the Diocese of Cubao said the following churches opened their doors to evacuees:

• Holy Family Parish - Roxas
• San Antonio de Padua Parish
• Basilica Minore de San Pedro Bautista
• Minor Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
• Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish

“As the community faces this difficult time, our Church remains a refuge, offering shelter, comfort, and the loving presence of Christ through its people,” the Diocese of Cubao said.

Evacuees were also provided food, water, clothing, and sleeping materials.

The Quezon City local government unit earlier declared a state of calamity amid the downpour brought by the Habagat.

Floods and heavy traffic were observed in Metro Manila due to the continuous rain, including in Quezon City, where trash covered the flooded areas on G. Araneta Avenue, A. Bonifacio Avenue, and Quezon Avenue going to E. Rodriguez Avenue. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
