Nagbahagi ng mensahe at dasal si Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray para sa mga Pilipinong lubos na naapektuhan ng sunod-sunod na kalamidad kamakailan.

Mababasa sa ibinahaging Facebook post ni Catriona nitong Martes, Nobyembre 11, na laging darating ang mga bagyo, ngunit mas mainam na handa ang lahat.

“So many homes and lives devastated by the recent typhoons, earthquakes and floods sa ating bansa. The storms will always come but we can be better prepared, systems put into place to mediate or reduce the affects,” panimula ni Catriona.

“How I pray that our public funds will be used with transparency and intention to protect the livelihood, safety and essential human needs of the Filipino people. How I pray that we would hold our government accountable to how they exploit the environment to the consequence of increased risk for communities. How I pray we won't just be glorified for being resilient when our nation is merely surviving. We deserve so much better,” pagpapatuloy niya.

Nagpaalala rin ang beauty queen na patuloy na bigyang-pansin ang mga komunidad na nangangailangan ng tulong.

“I pray we'll never settle in a place of ‘ganun talaga eh,’ wag tayo masanay. Who we put in leadership need to be held accountable to the responsibility of protecting and uplifting the lives of the nation. For now, let's continue to spotlight the communities who are still in need of aid,” ika ni Catriona.

“Many communities are still cut off from fresh drinking water, submerged under water or are in need of basic needs. Kindly help me share them below sa comments so we can get awareness and relief out to them. @philredcross and @angatbuhay are doing incredible work on ground, however much we can give goes a long long way,” pagtatapos niya.

Matatandaang nagpadala na ng tulong ang ilang opisina sa mga residenteng naapektuhan ng mga nagdaang kalamidad sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa.
