Dear MM, re the MINGO instant , nutritious moringa-rice-mongo powdered food packs, you may write info@nvcfoundation-ph.org or call (034) 434-5568. Or better, you or any of your staff members can email me so I can reply back and give you the email address and other contact details of the foundation’s director in charge of the Mingo so you can coordinate directly with her. I can also send you the primer on Mingo which provides more detailed information on the product ( nutritional info, etc) and their disaster relief programs. Thank you for your interest.

Bearhug et al, yes please go ahead and share this on facebook so a wider audience is aware of one of many ways to send donations and assistance to the Typhoon victims in the Visayas… Thanks.

Our thoughts and prayers goes to the families who were affected by this devastation.
MM, you have such a kind heart and I’m very deeply touched .

Hi MM, i know you and the zubuchon family will come up with this. And those who are long time marketmanila readers absolutely trust you. Will wait for your bank details so we can contribute in our own small way.

Also, asking your permission to share this post on facebook so as to reach a wider circle of relatives and friends who i know are more than willing to share with whatever resources they may have.

Again, thank you for doing this.

MM, I have been sending money to the Philippines thru MONEYGRAM (thru Walmart); family recipient in the Phils. get the peso equivalent at any BANCO DE ORO branch.
All I need is the NAME of your designated staff as shown in his I.D. (FIRST AND LAST NAME is sufficient), his PHONE NUMBER.
All that staff who will pick up the money needs is the REFERENCE NUMBER which we can send thru private email and the ADDRESS OF THE SENDER (us). No fee on your part. Cheaper fee via MoneyGram as compared to the 45usd in bank to bank transfers that my bank charges.
Money Gram also ONLY asks for the Giver’s/Sender’s name, address, phone number, and no other private info.
I’ve used XOOM before, but they needed all my personal and financial info. which I am not wont to give out.
I think MONEYGRAM is an option to consider. I’ve sent some help to classmates on medical missions thru MG.
Thank you for spearheading this, MM and family.

Hi MM, i am making a pledge to help. Do publish the bank details we can use. Similarly, i want help that goes direct instead of going through groups who may use part of the funds for their own convenience. Thanks a lot for reaching out.

I would also like to donate. I’ve been asking other Euro-Filipinos to donate as well. I was in tears when I saw the videos of the storm’s aftermath and her victims. My relatives are in Metro Manila so we were lucky to have been spared. Thank you MM for organising.
