With your reach, I am sharing this sad and appalling news from my husband’s employee living in a village beside Provident Vill. Marikina, that, according to some residents there, donations coming in, like from Ateneo, are “blocked” (harang) by the barangay hall who are prioritizing their employees and their relatives with the goods, while residents are waiting desperately for the relief to reach them…I hope this is not true in all other areas.

i know the host and readers of this blog are very socio-civic minded and we’re trying to set up a blog that talks about the acts of kindness and heroism we’ve seen throughout this whole ordeal. hoping you can share your stories with us. please email stormtales@gmail.com and we will post your story on http://www.stormtales.wordpress.com

we believe that the great filipino spirit that shone through these past week should not be forgotten and we want the blog to be a repository of this memory

thanks

We were enormously impressed by the number of volunteers working there. Hats off to myra-p and everyone involved.

Been working there for four days (today is my fifth and last until operations resume) and they are organized, resourceful, untiring and positive. No one is ever “too tired”. The quality and quantity of donations is staggering. What a wonderful, private effort that has sent out thousands and thousands of the most complete, best-packed relief packages.
Sorry… forgot to say great post – can’t wait to read your next one!
