With the onslaught of consecutive typhoons Rolly and Ulysses that ravaged many areas in Luzon and the Visayas over the past few weeks, many families have lost their homes, belongings, and even their loved ones.
To help raise funds for immediate typhoon relief and rescue efforts, several organizations have started accepting donations through PayMaya for initiatives that will help deliver food, clothing, shelter, and other forms of assistance to beneficiaries in typhoon-hit areas.
