Social media personality Boss Toyo has called on individuals traveling to Bicol to bring along 1,000 relief packs from his home to be delivered to those affected by Typhoon Kristine.
In a Facebook reel posted on Wednesday, October 23, Boss Toyo showed the relief goods stored at his residence, ready for distribution.
“Kung sino man ang pupuntang Bicol, kasi ‘di ako makakapunta dahil unang-una wala tayong sasakyan ngayon para makapunta,” he shared, explaining that he could not personally deliver the supplies due to a lack of transportation.
He further urged those who were either heading to the region or planning to donate to stop by his place to pick up the relief goods. “Kung sino man ang pupunta o magdo-donate doon, puwede n’yo akong daanan dito. 1,000 pieces relief goods din ‘to,” he added, emphasizing the significant amount of aid prepared for the typhoon survivors.
Boss Toyo concluded his message with a reminder to stay safe: “Stay safe people.”
This initiative comes at a critical time as PAGASA, the national weather bureau, reported earlier in the morning that a significant portion of the Bicol Region is under Signal number 2 due to Typhoon Kristine. The heightened alert means that strong winds and heavy rainfall are expected, potentially causing flooding and landslides in affected areas. The relief packs prepared by Boss Toyo could provide much-needed assistance to those struggling with the aftermath of the storm.
The social media personality’s proactive approach to gathering and distributing relief goods highlights the importance of community involvement during times of natural disasters. With Typhoon Kristine continuing to affect the Bicol Region, efforts like these serve as a vital lifeline for those in need of immediate aid. Boss Toyo’s call to action also encourages others to contribute in any way they can, whether through donations, delivering supplies, or simply raising awareness about the situation on the ground.
As the typhoon continues to pose a threat to the region, more individuals and groups are expected to join the relief efforts, providing critical support to the affected communities.
