Residents from Sapang Bayan in Calumpit, Bulacan who were affected by the flooding caused by Typhoon Egay received help from the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
As seen on Thursday's "24 Oras," the foundation used boats to deliver relief goods to those who got stranded in their homes due to the neck-level flood.
"Halos six feet po ang lalim ng tubig, lubog po ang mga tao talaga. May kanya-kanya pong bangka, 'yun po ang sinasakyan namin para makaahon o makabili ng mga pagkain," Barangay Captain Roberto Lucas said."Napakahirap po," said resident Danilo Mercado. "Unang-una po hindi kami makapag-hanapbuhay dahil sa sobrang laki ng tubig. 'Yung mga gamit namin mga nalubog. Matagal mo bago mapundar tapos malulubog lang.
Even before Bulacan was put under a state of calamity, the GMA Kapuso Foundation had already visited the barangay to send help to over three thousand individuals. "Talaga pong kayo po ay sumakay pa ng bangka para maihatid lang sa mga ka-barangay ko ang ipapaabot n'yong tulong. Maraming, maraming salamat po sa GMA, sa Kapuso!" Lucas said.
For those who are interested to help, the GMA Kapuso Foundation is accepting donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.
