Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto on Christmas Day urged the public to find ways to donate to victims of Typhoon Odette, which left 375 people killed and thousands homeless.
Sotto said the Pasig City government donated P1 million each to the Dinagat Islands, Southern Leyte, Negros Oriental, Surigao del Norte and Bohol. Staff from city hall are also on the ground to help.
"In the spirit of Christmas, let's find ways to help those in need," he said.

Odette is the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines this year and the 15th before the close of 2021. Many communities in the Visayas and Northern Mindanao are without power and communications one week since Odette.
Sotto's call for donations on Twitter got nearly 15,000 likes and close to 2,000 reposts as of late Saturday.
