     #CagayanNeedsHelp #IsabelaNeedsHelp Dr. Troy Alexander G. Miano 29 November 2020 While the whole nation focused on the worst flooding in Metro Manila, since Tropical Storm Ondoy in 2009, brought about by the powerful and deadly Category 4-equivalent Typhoon Ulysses, a netizen on Facebook, shared a video of residents shouting for help in Barangay Linao East, Tuguegarao City amid massive flooding in Cagayan and Isabela provinces.
