12 October 2009: Over the last two days we have left food, collars and leashes at the evacuation centers in Marakina and Muntinlupa, as well as food and medicine for animals rescued from the floods in the Marakina city pound and food for Muntinlupa city pound.
We had a quick chat with the Mayor of Muntinlupa, who thanked all volunteers who are helping animals affected by flooding in his city. He also told me that the latest weather prediction is that the water level will not return to normal for at least 14 days around Laguna Bay.
The city vet in Pasig said that there were no dogs in the evacuation centers in his district, and Quezon City vet said they had no animals in their pound rescued from the floods, so neither vet would take any of the food or leashes. Therefore, I have sent the rest of the goods to Laguna City.
