What Ondoy Left
In 2008, Typhoon Ondoy struck the major part of Metro Manila as well as surrounding provinces and was the most devastating storm in the 2009 season. With a damage of $1.09 billion and 747 fatalities, members of Migrante International, a non government organization, identified the immediate needs of the most affected areas of Northern Luzon and responded with relief efforts, donating food, first aid, and supplies to communities.
