We met Craig Burrows in Montalban. Area is muddy, flooded in places but accessible. Barangay had announced we were coming and people were told to bring their dogs to the basketball court. They had even provided tables and chairs for us and were there helping with the crowds.

The sheer volume of people with animals in Montalban area is astounding. Either for anti-rabies or medical assistance, we treated well over 500 animals that morning.

Approximately 460 anti -rabies inoculations

gave out well over 300 bags of food and,

treated at least 50 medical cases.

Next stop was De La Costa. The people are still trying to clear the streets; deep mud and water. Area was previously completely flooded, residents still haven’t recovered, devastation everywhere you look. Most of the animals had not survived in this area.

door to door carrying our medical supplies

treated approximately 20 dogs and 1 cat,

fed any animal we came across on the streets.
