Cabagan, Isabela residents ask Kuya Wil for help in rebuilding homes

Residents in Cabagan, Isabela whose houses were ravaged by Typhoon Ulysses have sought the help of Kapuso TV host Willie Revillame.

According to Jonathan Andal’s report on “24 Oras” on Wednesday, the residents are also appealing to the government to provide a machine that would help remove the flood in the area.

“Sir Willie, nangangailangan po ako ng pampatayo po ng bahay namin kasi nasira po ‘yong bahay namin. Wala po kaming matulugan kasi naanod po ng baha ‘yong bahay namin,” Bernadette Castillo said.

Residents said the flooding, which reached the second floor of the houses, was the worst they have experienced.

“Mahirap dito. ‘Yong bahay namin naanod lahat ‘yong mga gamit namin po, damit, lahat-lahat po,” Elsie Lugo said.

“Sobrang hirap namin. Lahat po ng gamit namin, nawala. ‘Yong bahay po namin, wala na,” Arly Naag added.

Further, the residents asked for donations of water and food packs as all of their belongings were taken by the flood.

“Sa mga taong may malalaking puso po na puwede pong tumulong sa amin, sana matulungan niyo po kami,” Lannie Flores said.

Isabela has been placed under state of calamity after Ulysses brought heavy rains, which was aggravated by the release of water from Magat Dam. -Ma. Angelica Garcia/NB, GMA News
