Operation: Ondoy (Ketsana)

After a month’s worth of rain poured in just 8 hours: more than 100 people are dead, four dozen souls are still missing, thousands stranded and millions are heart-broken. I’m happy that our family got away from the event relatively unscathed but the majority of Metro Manila thinks otherwise.

It’s time for you to help.

You can donate to the Philippine Red Cross through SMS: text RED[space]AMOUNT to 2899 (Globe) or 4483 (Smart)

TXTPower is also accepting donations for Ondoy typhoon victims via SmartMoney 5577514418667103, GCash 09179751092 and Paypal.

Tulong Bayan hot lines for donations and volunteers are 09086579998, 9137122, 9136254, and 9133306. Drop-off points are at Expo Centro in Cubao in Quezon City and White Space at 2314 Pasong Tamo Extension in Makati. pls repost.

Sour Politics has a comprehensive list of Emergency Hotlines and whatnot.
