Send Relief
For other ways to donate kindly go to this site or read my previous reblog. Please share.
Thank you.
I heard that some of my batchmates from Ateneo have died in CDO. :( I pray for everyone who’s been affected by Typhoon Sendong, and am very proud of all the help pouring into CDO and Iligan.

While the country’s leading TV stations are showing me a Christmas party and a gag show, the city of my birth still does not have running water; some areas still without electricity; and people still needing food, clothing and water.
I must say though, the international press is doing a better job at covering the disaster. Below are some links:
- Storms pound Philippines in the thick of night, kill at least 436 (msnbc)
- Philippines Flooding Kills At Least 436 (TIME)
- Philippines storm kills hundreds in Mindanao flash floods (BBC)
- Philippines Typhoon Floods ‘Kill Up To 440’ (skynews)
- Philippines tropical storm kills hundreds (Guardian)
For those willing to help out, as the picture above suggests, please click through the pic. The Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan is collecting relief goods and donations for the victims of the flood.
From my end, I can now rest, after finally being able to communicate with my family. They evacuated our house as soon as they observed the waters of the Iponan River (which is just few meters from our house) rise.
My brother told me that things happened fast. So fast they weren’t even able to wear their slippers when they left. But at least they are now all safe and accounted for. Thank God!

Please help us find our cousin Rhian J. Garcia. She has been missing since the devastating flood caused by Sendong hit their home in Balulang Cagayan De Oro.
She got separated from her Mom and Dad while they were trying to evacuate. Sadly, our Aunt Mimi did not make it. But our Uncle Reynold luckily survived and is now restless trying to find Rhian.
Just last year, our Aunt and Uncle lost their elder son, Andrei, to Dengue. Rhian was just a few months old then. Our Aunt and Uncle survived the loss of their elder son with the help of their adorable and cheerful young Rhian.
Now with Aunt Mimi gone, we are asking for your kind assistance to help our Uncle locate their little angel. With God’s mercy, we are praying that someone has her or knows where to find her.
If it is not too much to ask, we are kindly asking you to repost this note on the hope that someone might recognize her. If you have friends or family helping out in the evacuation centers, kindly share this post with them.
If you know Rhian’s whereabouts, kindly contact my Uncle at 09068830049. Their relatives have temporarily relocated at the Sabal Residence in Villa Ernesto Phase 2 Gusa Cagayan de Oro.Thank you!
That number is a legit Philippines number, I know cuz that’s just how the numbers started off on my sim card this summer. Reblog pleaseI found this in Facebook. Please share/reblog to help the Father. I feel for him.
