As if a 7.2 magnitude earthquake last October wasn’t enough, the central region of the Philippines was hit by another disaster, a 295 kph typhoon on November 8, 2013. Supertyphoon Yolanda (International name: Haiyan), one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, smashed the central part of the Philippines and left hundreds of millions of destroyed of properties, death toll at around 4000, and over 650,000 displaced survivors desperate for food and shelter among others.
I thank God none of my family or friends were affected by Supertyphoon Yolanda but the images on TV and online are heart-breaking. Any of the victims could have easily been one of my aunts, uncles, or cousins I still have in the Philippines. Hearing the interviews of my fellow kababayans on television makes the situation so real for me. Thanks to my networking with my fellow bloggers, I'm able to participate in this campaign to help those back in my homeland.
As bloggers, we thought we could help these people by throwing this huge fundraising giveaway -- a way we are all very familiar with. We have already raised $515 from this event and continuing to receive more donations through GoGetFunding.com. There will be a turnover of funds to a legitimate organizations that buys, repacks, and hands out relief goods directly to the victims. You can visit one of the host blogs for updates on the fund transfer in about a week or two.
