We foodies can help in our little ways.
Severe Tropical Storm Kristine, the Philippines’ 11th tropical cyclone in 2024, has caused massive flooding, especially in the Bicol Region. As of this writing, several areas in Luzon remain under Signal No. 3.
Restaurants, particularly those in the hardest-hit areas of the Bicol Region, have organized soup kitchens and donation drives to assist those affected. Here are some of these restaurants and ways you can extend your support:
Pandawan Seafood Restaurant
Pandawan Seafood Restaurant served 4,300 food packs to the evacuees in Naga City affected by #KristinePH. For donations, refer to the poster below.
Chef Doy’s Gourmet Restaurant
Chef Doy Gourmet Restaurant distributed 225 packs of hot meals to residents of Brgy. Sabang, Naga City. To donate, send a message to their Facebook page.

Times are tough for everyone, but we foodies can help in our own little ways. Donate when you can, share this on your social media accounts, and give your favorite restaurants on this list a little shoutout and appreciation.
