Heart Evangelista, Senate Spouses Foundation donate relief goods in Pampanga
Heart Evangelista took to social media to share the relief efforts of the Senate Spouse Foundation Inc. (SSFI) for those affected by the heavy rains and flooding in Pampanga.
On Instagram, Heart shared snaps of containers filled with rice and canned goods being carted from what appears to be Heart's house. In another post, the containers lined the wall ready to be transported.
Heart took oath as the new head of the SSFI in June last year. Among her first fundraising projects was to sell her hand-painted Hermès bag to donate the proceeds to the organization.
SSFI, an organization of Philippine senators' wives, was previously led by Audrey Tan Zubiri.
The triple threat of Crising, Habagat-induced rains, and low-pressure areas have 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.
In its 11 a.m. bulletin, the state weather bureau raised Signal No. 1 over four areas in Luzon as Tropical Depression Emong is expected to make landfall.
For those looking to donate to the victims of the heavy rains, here is a list of organizations with relief operations. — Hermes Joy Tunac/LA, GMA Integrated News
