Philippines-based Basel Manadil, also known online as the “The Hungry Syrian Wanderer,” posted a video on YouTube of his recent trip to rescue centers around Taal Volcano, which erupted last week.

“When I first saw the news about Taal eruption, I immediately thought of the people who will be affected and will be needing immediate help,” the social media personality said on his YouTube account that has over 1.5 million subscribers.
Manadil, who has been living the Philippines for more than five years, distributed boxes of donations that included medical supplies.
He drove around the province to give away packed meals, including a 1000 chicken wings and Arabic dish kabsa, which he said he prepared for more than 10 hours.
“I never cooked before I left Syria, so my mom would be so proud once she sees this,” Manadil wrote on Facebook.
The Philippines remained on high alert days after the devastating eruption of the Taal Volcano, a famous tourist spot just 50 kilometers north of the capital Manila.
Around 80,000 people have been displaced since the eruption covered nearby towns with thick charcoal-like ash.
