Because We Are Filipinos & We Are One Nation

Leave a Comment

Calamity is the perfect glass wherein we truly see and know ourselves.

Last Saturday, the 26th of September, Philippines experienced Typhoon Ondoy's onslaught that brought the whole country in shock, fear and tears.

Ondoy brought along a month's worth of rainfall to the country's capital - Metro Manila and nearby areas - in just a few hours, causing intense flooding which has resulted in the loss of many lives and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people including their wealth or anything that is of any value to them.

As of this writing, several relief organizations are continuously accepting donations so that more help can be provided where it is needed. As Filipinos, wherever we may be, let us not forget the we are one bond and just one nation. Let us all extend help and pray for the immediate recovery of those who are victims of such unwanted occurrence.

The author of this site is encouraging everyone of us to extend help for the victims. Any help of any value would do. As the saying goes "we can help in our own little ways", so please don't just read this, please help...

Fellow Cebuanos, it's indeed a good news that we may now extend help through the following drop-off points in Cebu where your donations for Ondoy victims will be accepted and surely be sent to those who need it.
