Barrio Siete is making an effort to help our fellow countrymen in these times of crisis.
Ito ang aming panawagan.
My fellow bloggers, readers and lurkers; it breaks our heart seeing all these images and watching the videos coming from Manila – the wrath and devastation not only to properties but also to the lives of our fellow Filipinos. Tropical typhoon Ondoy is not only creating havoc but also bringing epic floods in the Metropolitan Manila area.
In the spirit of Barrio Siete, I invite you all to join our Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims. Very simple:
1.) Make a donation to our Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims. If you can’t, then help us by making this viral and create an entry entitled: “Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims“. A link to this original entry will be appreciated where your readers can make a donation. Please leave us a note in the comment section if you are joining so we can list your entry, in case the pingback doesn’t work.
2.) Invite other bloggers to join our “Bayanihan Fund Drive: Donate to Ondoy Flood Victims”
3.) We will list the names of the donors in a worksheet, their organization and/or their websites, unless they prefer to be anonymous.
4.) The listing will be updated regularly and will be posted in Barrio Siete Dot com.
5.) We are only accepting monetary donations in currencies accepted by Paypal. Please see Bayanihan Fund Drive link for details on how to donate.
6.) All donations will be remitted only to the Philippine National Red Cross in Manila. La Kapitana can assure you that all donations will go to PNRC. This is La Kapitana's assurance:
a.) I have a complete list of who donated and the amount of the donation. I will blog about the complete list on a spreadsheet.
b.) I have just sent an email to the Philippine National Red Cross. It’s about 2:58PM EST right now, so it’s about 2:58AM early morning in Manila, and hopefully they respond by email, otherwise, I will call them to see how to remit the funds.
c.) I have donations in the US that will take 3 business days to clear from the bank to the PayPal account so, hopefully, I should be able to make the 1st transfer or remittance before the end of this coming week.
d.) I will wait until I’ve talk to a representative from the Philippine National Red Cross to find out if they have a PayPal Account which would be easier.
e.) If not, I can also transfer the funds by wire through the PNB Remittance Centers (which I use) and they issue and electronic confimation that I can post and is verifiable.
7.) If you prefer: You can make donations directly to the Philippine National Red Cross. Here is the link: Ways to donate
We will in turn, turn this over to the Philippine National Red Cross.
Spread the word people. This is one way of helping our kababayans.
What are you waiting for? Go na!
