LIST: How you can donate and send help to those affected by Crising, habagat
The Philippines is once again being battered by heavy rains and severe floods brought about by back-to-back storms.
The country earlier experienced the wrath of tropical cyclone Crising and the southwest monsoon, which resulted in the deaths of six people. Five people were reported injured, and eight others remain missing.
On July 22, a low pressure area (LPA) east of Aurora developed into Dante, which has strengthened into a tropical storm. Another LPA also intensified into tropical depression Emong.
As communities rally together to provide relief to the victims of the heavy rains and floods, a growing number of donation drives have emerged to support those affected.
