Here's news for you Mickey Mouse, bloggers have been helping Ondoy victims to be rescued as early as Saturday afternoon doh. In this time of disaster, it would help if politicians would just shut up and do their part rather than protect their interest.
Twitter and Facebook became tools to save people, mobilize relief goods, and register for volunteerism. If not for the heavy duty 24/hour online dudes which includes celebrities and pinoy bloggers - the turn out of donations, news updates, and rescue will not be as high. It isn't really correct to discuss this now but my head is steaming from what I read in newspapers that someone said how "bloggers should do their part". Now let me update you with volunteer and relief efforts this Wednesday.
Yesterday, I went to Balay Cubao instead to drop off clothes and register to help. I didn't make it to Enderun for some reasons including that I read how they lack ingredients to cook and donations to pack. So please continue to send relief goods and ingredients to Mega Tent in Pasig today.
I am going back to Balay today to help around the kitchen, hopefully I will not get lost like what happened to me yesterday.

Update: Bloggers Help Ondoy Victims
Monday, September 28, 2009
Cook for Ondoy Victims
Finally I found my agenda for tomorrow! Will wake up early to go to Enderun to help chop and cook food for Ondoy victims. I haven't slept since 11pm yesterday because I am so bothered by this disaster that I have to do something.
Successfully dropped off goods at Team Manila earlier.
I have no more clothes or food to give so I can only offer my time and service tomorrow. If my sister raids her closet now, I can still bring some more clothes to any drop off centers. God help us all.
You too can just drop by at Enderun College at The Fort to bring ingredients or to help cook food as well, this is 24 hours so you can drop by anytime.
2AM Two Days after Ondoy
I still cannot sleep properly with images inside my head of the tragedy that was. I just finished raiding my closet and toiletries that I will deliver later to one of the drop off points for Ondoy victims.
I have an exam later at 9AM and after that, I might volunteer somewhere to help sort goods or whatever. This disaster is huge, unimaginable, and the worst I have seen in my life. Lots of people are still stuck in their roof, no food and water, and after this, they have nothing.
I especially feel terrible for the poor who has yet to survive this when they already have nothing to begin with. If you think you have nothing to give, think again. You can donate lots of things or simply your time. Get others to move and help, we cannot depend on anyone else now but ourselves. I pray to God that whatever lesson we have to learn from here, we should remember so that this does not need to happen again. I am very mad at the negligence of both the government and public with the water system and garbage but this is not the time to blame or point fingers though.
See you at the evacuation centers.
