As I'm writing this typhoon Ondoy has already wrecked havoc in most of Luzon. Hundreds, if not thousands of people in Manila (and nearby provinces) need our help.

I'm reposting the following emergency contact information from Manuel L. Quezon III's blog, let's do what we can:

Here’s what you can do even if you’re home

1. E-mail friends/relatives overseas to donate to their national Red Cross for Philippine flood victim relief.

2. If possible, contact the nearest chapter of the Philippine National Red Cross to find out how you can help wrap and prepare relief goods or contribute to information dissemination and other ways to keep people in touch.

3. Call your parish to find out plans when rains subside so you know where , how to help.

4. Pledge what would’ve been this weekend’s luxuries money for disaster relief.

This storm reminds me of another typhoon which caught us by surprise: typhoon Reming. That betch of a typhoon took so many lives in Legazpi (Albay). My family and I would've lost our lives too had we not evacuated our house (which was in an area which never flooded before-- until that storm.). Remains as one of the scariest things to ever happen in my life.


Also.

Dear next President of the Philippines, please make environment a top priority. PLEASE.
