TYPHOON ONDOY RESCUE AND RELIEF OPERATIONS (EDITED)
No thanks to that stupid storm crawling at a snail's pace (13 kph to 198 kph), even Metro Manila is in a state of calamity. Glad Makati was only knee-deep on average, as I head Caloocan, Paranaque, Marikina, Pateros and at least half of the entire island region of Luzon were pretty much sunken. DDDDDDX I wish I were joking but news reports are such that people are either giving birth on rooftops or falling off them to their deaths. DX
All I'd like to say is, AM radio is our friend! They have real-time updates of the situation and of the status of the blasted typhoon. Am particularly liking ABS-CBN-owned DZMM right now, but choose whatever AM radio floats your boat. Sorry FM peeps, I love you guys, but I like my updates in real time especially in situations like this.

Go to the Cervini Dorm of Ateneo de Manila University along Katipunan Avenue if the floods have abated and you want to help. For those stranded nearby, call the dormitory (loc 5930) and faculty (loc 4036) hotlines if you need help.

Thanks so much! ♥ Keep doing us proud while y'all are there in OR. d^_~b
[EDIT] Also! Kindly follow: http://oregon4ondoy.blogspot.com if possible too!
GMA Network has released a list of addresses with people that need rescue and relief operations: http://www.gmanews.tv/story/173248/list-of-addresses-of-flood-stranded-people-needing-rescue.
Concerned citizens launched Operation Tulong Bayan as they urged supporters and volunteers to set aside political work and focus on organizing relief effort for thousands of families displaced by typhoon Ondoy.
Operation Tulong Bayan visited the Tatalon area in Marikina, among the hardest hit by floods caused by Ondoy, to distribute relief goods to the affected residents there.
They are urging supporters and volunteers to bring their donations to the following Operation Tulong Bayan Centers:
1) Cubao, Quezon City: Balay, Expo Centro Filipino, EDSA corner General McArthur St., Araneta Center. Former Seafood Market, Inside the parking lot fronting farmers market. Hotline : 9137122, 9136254, 9133306. Manilyn 09086579998 Jenn 09393633436
2) Makati City: 2314 Pasong Tamo Ext. (Dasma side) between Cantinetta and Makati Faith Chistian School. Tel 7108804 Rosanna 0917-8305053 Cris 09178435137
Finally, a shout-out to Celline Salapantan, another true Povedan and an awesome girl who I am proud to have known. She opened her home to 18 complete strangers who lost their homes in Marikina (she lives in the higher areas of Katipunan in QC). ALL AWESOME POVEDANS (2 already mentioned here - Celline Salapantan and Welo Rivera) and UP KIDDIES, and EVERYONE who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help out in the relief cause. ♥
And it's NEVER too late to help!
More updates as I go. Praying for safety, especially my own sister's safe return!
EDIT: Sister safe, was storm-chasing WTF.
Cosplayers with a mind and heart to assist, I've reactivated Reach Out Otaku. Food and blankets top priority right now.
Here is our BPI Savings Account (it's actually my own but I decided I would rather help others than be selfish): 3106-4084-62. It is under MA. JOCELYN C. BORDADOR (that's me).
