Donations to Help Victims of Ondoy
I understand that a lot of people are skeptical with giving donations because the money might not make it to the ones who need it. So fortunately, the Philippine National Red Cross created their own Paypal account: give@redcross.org.ph
This is all I can do for the moment, since I am not physically in the Philippines to help with the relief operations.
I also noticed that the relief operations are having problems with coordination. Some centers overmanned, while others are undermanned. Some areas receive a lot of relief goods, while other areas are still waiting for aid. I understand the need for someone to coordinate information so that resources can be distributed properly. And since Twitter is the fastest way to disseminate information, let me just pimp the Twitter account of my friend Chuckie, who has been busy retweeting people in need of volunteers.
Go go go! Let us do all we can to help Metro Manila and the surrounding areas get back on their feet.
