#ReliefPH: Help communities affected by Severe Tropical Storm Maring

Thousands of residents in Northern Luzon are seeking help after enduring the impacts of Severe Tropical Storm Maring (Kompasu) and the enhanced southwest monsoon on Tuesday, October 12.

Affected areas include Cagayan Valley, the Ilocos Region, and the Cordillera  Administrative Region (CAR), as well as, select provinces in Visayas and Mindanao.
