MANILA, Philippines — Albay Governor Joey Salceda said Sunday that all evacuation centers in the province are “open cities,” meaning all donations and assistance could be given directly to evacuees and will not need the approval of the provincial government.

“The Albay Mayon evacuation camps are Open City. Donations, feeding or medical missions and other forms of assistance do not need prior approval and need not be coursed through the provincial government,” Salceda said on his official Facebook page.
