Aside from Angel, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray has sought donations to provide assistance to areas affected by what is considered as the year's strongest tropical cyclone, particularly her hometown, Bicol.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Philippines has just been hit by the strongest storm in the world so far this year, known as Typhoon Goni (local name Rolly) #RollyPH. On top of that, another tropical storm, Siony, is closely tailing Typhoon Goni. The @philredcross has alerted all chapters, 143 volunteers, and deployed a Disaster Management Team from the National Headquarters for rescue and relief operations to Bicol 🌋, my hometown, and other affected areas. In order to continue serving the most vulnerable and affected communities, I am calling all kind-hearted donors and humanitarian partners to help support the Red Cross in their response operations. SWIPE! ➡️ For donation links and more info you can visit: https://book.redcross1158.com/index.php/donate/🙏❤ Your 100 pesos can help the Red Cross in preparing for food and hygiene kits for evacuees, contribute in building homes, or provide cash assistance to the affected families. 🇵🇭 Help us make a difference, the Red Cross needs you now!

Actor Enchong Dee also appealed for in-kind donations, such as hygiene kits and relief packs, for the typhoon victims using his social media accounts. 

Typhoon Rolly destroyed houses, damaged crops, and downed power and transmission lines during its onslaught, leaving at least 19 dead, and displacing hundreds of thousands.

It affected some 2 million people as it battered parts of the country, including the Bicol region, and parts of Luzon such as Batangas, Quezon Province, and Occidental Mindoro.
