From Indonesia, actress Megan Young took to Facebook Monday afternoon to appeal for help on behalf of the people of her native Olongapo City, which was placed under a state of calamity due to widespread floods.
“This is what is happening RIGHT NOW in my hometown in the Philippines. This is the public market and it is nearly submerged. If this is underwater, what more the houses nearby?” she said.
“Please help my friends and neighbors by voicing out to the rescue team to save those whose houses are underwater. Please collect as many old clothes as you can. Their food and water are probably all gone and they need that the most,” she added.
The 23-year-old Filipino-American represented Olongapo City when she ran away with the Miss World Philippines crown last month.
“Floods happen all the time in the Philippines but year by year they seem to be getting worse,” she lamented.
The Miss World coronation night will take on Saturday, September 28.
