How to help Ondoy Victims (from Inquirer.Net)

First, let me just give props to blogger and media personality Manolo Quezon for being one of the driving forces in the recent online volunteerism done in response to Ondoy. Other than Manolo, bloggers Frannywanny and Jane also pitched in to help disseminate the information. Inquirer.Net picked up on their articles and published it on their site so that more people can find out how to help. I’m re-posting it here for everyone’s information.

Let’s all do our parts in trying to help out. I’ve already donated what I can to the relief operations being facilitated by Victory Greenhills and the Ateneo. It’s good to see people pitching in but it’s not enough yet.

MANILA, Philippines – Below is a consolidated report of the interactive maps, private groups and business organizations where you can find information on how to help the victims of tropical storm Ondoy, based on the sites of INQUIRER.net columnist Manuel Quezon III ( http://www.quezon.ph/2009/09/26/how-to-help/), bloggers Frannywanny ( http://www.frannywanny.com/2009/09/public-advisory-typhoon-ondoy-ketsana.html) and Jane ( http://herestolife.wordpress.com/) and Google map creators Serge Gregorio and Franklin Naval.
