Allow me to share some photographs that will describe the conditions of our countrymen while surviving their ultimate challenges in life.
I hope that after seeing these pictures, you will act now and do something to help in any way you can.
Ano ang mga pwede mong gawin para sa kanila?
1. Donate ka ng foods (canned pref no cooking required), medicines and blankets
2. If you have spare time, proceed to several relief distribution warehouses like GMA in Tandang Sora, ABS near Mo. Ignacia, Araneta Center, Xavier and La Salle GH, PNRC Compound and others (search the net) at tumulong sa pagbabalot ng mga goods.
3. Ipunin ang mga lumang damit at gamit. Maaring malaking bagay na ito para sa iba.
4. Mag-organize ka sa opisina nyo ng ganitong activity para mas marami kayong maipon then tumawag sa mga centers. Pwede nyo din pa pick up sa Avis para ma deliver sa mga centers (pa-approve ko sa management).
5. Kung nasa abroad ka naman, pwede ka din magdeposit ng mga sobrang dirhams, riyals, pounds and dollars mo sa mga bank account ng mga NGOs. Di na mahalaga kung ikaw ay Kapuso o Kapamilya, basta ikaw ay si Kabayan.
6. Mag offer ng dasal (pinaka-madali pero dapat taos sa puso ang dalangin) check mo ang prayer sa baba na mula sa CBCP.
7. Lastly, I-share mo ang blog na ito sa iba para makatulong din.

Prayer for all the victims of Typhoon Ondoy
Oh, God Father:
In faith we acknowledge your paternal care over us, your sons, daughters and children. In hope we trust in your divine providence of giving us wisdom and courage as we face the challenges in life. In love we invoke your help and guidance during these difficult days of death and destruction in our dear country.
Our is a prayer of thanksgiving for once again reminding us that ours is an imperfect world, that heaven is not on earth and that nature every now and then tells us not to abuse her. Ours too is a prayer of repentance for calling upon you when we are in need and desperation but forgetting you in favourable times and pleasing occasions. Ours as well is a prayer of petition as we say:
Grant eternal peace to those who lost their lives. Embrace the children who died in their innocence. Help those who are hurt and cure those who are sick.
Encourage those who suffer the destruction of their homes and properties, and to once again stand up and rebuild their future.
Bless all those who extend their helping hands to those in need of food, shelter and clothing, who share their time, talents and resources with others.
Inspire more people to be men and women for their neighbors, convinced that the more they are for others, the taller they stand before you.
Spare us please from other natural disasters and devastations if this be according to Your will and for our own spiritual good and growth.
Amen and Amen
