Ulysses evacuees camp on highway, seek aid

Several families in Tumauini, Isabela, displaced by Typhoon Ulysses, have been camping by the Maharlika Highway for four nights, appealing for assistance.

These residents from Barangay San Mateo are sleeping under makeshift shelters, relying on donations from passing motorists for food.

The affected families claim that they are not receiving sufficient relief goods from the local government.

Tumauini Mayor Arnold Bautista stated that these families refused to go to evacuation centers because they did not want to leave their livestock.

Mayor Bautista added that the local government has been distributing relief goods to the roadside campers and he personally oversees these efforts.

Some residents also sought help from TV host Willie Revillame, who has made personal donations to the typhoon victims.

The residents are appealing to President Rodrigo Duterte for help due to their current situation.
