#ReliefPH: Help communities affected by Christmas Day flooding in Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental
Here is a running list of relief initiatives where you can donate

MANILA, Philippines – Several areas across Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental were flooded and hit by landslides on Christmas Day after the shear line in southern Philippines triggered localized thunderstorms.

Misamis Occidental was heavily affected, with at least two people reported to have died in a landslide in Oroquieta City.

In Misamis Oriental, Gingoog City was declared to be under a state of calamity, causing thousands to spend the holidays in evacuation centers.  

To help communities in need, several organizations are leading donation drives and relief efforts to respond to the needs of affected families in the two provinces in Northern Mindanao.
