In a Facebook post by Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, he said that emergency responders are doing rescue operations.
Sotto said that almost 60 percent of residents in Barangay Santolan were rescued, as this area had that most number of people stranded.
Meanwhile, a post from the Pasig City Public Information Office showed bags of relief goods have been packed to be given away to those hit hardest by the typhoon.
Based on Pagasa’s latest weather bulletin, the state weather bureau has lifted Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2 in all areas as the typhoon weakened.
Ulysses is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Friday morning.
