The typhoon-struck cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan in southern Philippines continue to need urgent relief aid as people come to grips with the horrible death toll and as families continue to search for hundreds of others who are still missing.

For Filipinos abroad and our friends from other countries, an option is to approach the nearest Philippine embassy or consulate.
