Heart Evangelista shared her thoughts about the situation and her reasons for her current actions. “Typhoon Carina not only affected thousands of humans but pets as well. No one should be left behind, and that means humans and pets alike in times of calamities.”

She also added how the SSFI is blessed with partners who are looking after animal welfare. These partners have also sent necessary supplies for the pets affected by Carina.

Typhoon Carina struck the Philippines on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, resulting in massive floods within Manila and neighboring areas. Between the calms of the typhoon and the weather, authorities have evacuated pets and stray animals out of the murky waters. They have made their intentions clear that everyone is affected and deserves equal relief.

Heart Evangelista called on netizens to extend help to PAWs and emphasized that SSFI stands united with the organization in combating animal cruelty. Evangelista and the SSFI organized a relief operation and distributed supplies to families in Marikina prior to this.

In the latest information, a total of 28 animals were rescued during Typhoon Carina. Many of them were brought to available shelters.
