4,000 individuals in Camarines Sur affected by Enteng receive food packs through GMA Kapuso Foundation


Thousands of individuals in Camarines Sur who were affected by severe tropical storm Enteng (international name: Yagi) received food packs through GMA Kapuso Foundation.

According to "24 Oras" on Wednesday, GMA Kapuso Foundation provided lift to about 4,000 residents in the municipalities of Milaor and Minalabac by distributing food packs.

Enteng's heavy downpour caused massive flooding and damaged infrastructure in Milaor and Minalabac, as well as neighboring Naga City, affecting the homes and livelihoods of the residents.

The entire province of Camarines Sur is now under a state of calamity due to Enteng.

Meanwhile, GMA Kapuso Foundation continues to extend aid to affected communities in Rizal province and is set to conduct disaster relief efforts for communities hit by Enteng in Northern Samar.

Early this week, 4,000 individuals in Brgy. Bagong Nayon and San Isidro in Antipolo  City received food packs, as well as hot porridge and donuts from GMA Kapuso Foundation.

Those who wish to help through the foundation's Operation Bayanihan Project may donate via Metrobank, Land Bank, Banco de Oro, Philippine National Bank, Unionbank, and Bank of Commerce.

Donations may also be made through Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, Lazada, and Metrobank Credit Cards. Go to this link for more information.

According to state weather bureau PAGASA on Wednesday morning, Enteng was already outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on Wednesday has estimated that a total of 547,029 individuals in 695 barangays were affected by Enteng and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).

Most of the affected residents are from Central Luzon, followed by the Bicol Region and the National Capital Region.
