Our relief operations started on November 11, 2013, three days after Super Typhoon Yolanda hit Ormoc City. </div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We started with the barangays nearest to our homes since it was the easiest in terms of transporting the goods. The first to receive aid were the following villages: </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Mayahag - 200 families</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Donghol - 541 families </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Cabulihan - </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We distributed food packs that contained 2 kilograms of rice, packs of instant noodles, sardines and other canned meat plus other non-perishable food items that were given by kindhearted donors from all over the country. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The HAYAG Orphanage also received baby formula milk, Wilkins distilled water, food packs, clothing and bug spray. With all structures roofless, windowless and even wall-less, bug spray and mosquito netting is very, very important especially since the children are at risk of Dengue Fever. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">With news of looting and riots and random acts of frantic survival in other devastated areas, people immediately assumed that it was the same for all towns and cities. That was definitely not the case, especially in Ormoc City where most of the locals stayed calm and helped each other. It was such an inspiring sight to see people from all walks of life, equally hungry and helpless, yet still lining up in an orderly manner. For this alone, we have faith that Ormoc will rise again. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The distribution of relief goods was also done systematically in order to be sure that all citizens of the barangay will get their fair share. We contacted the barangay captain and went directly to the area to really get the exact number of people. It was important that the goods were enough for everyone. We consolidated the efforts of different families and groups so that there was no duplication in the distribution of relief goods. For the bigger barangays, we put them off until we ensured that there was enough food packs and hot meals for every single person. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Aside from the barangay effort, bread and hard boiled eggs were sent to evacuation centers together with water and some snacks (cookies and biscuits). After that, food and snacks were also given to the people lining up at the pier. There were hundreds of them waiting for a chance to evacuate to Cebu, lining up from morning to evening. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The week has not been easy. We thank the Lord for blessing us with friends and relatives who immediately answered our call for help with no questions asked and no delay. Donations started pouring in and we were able to help more barangays and feed more people. As private citizens who have also suffered from losses, we are very limited in terms of resources to help everyone. The support that we received from donors all over the world have been truly God-sent. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Now we are focusing efforts on rebuilding Ormoc. We may be roofless and worse, homeless but we are certainly not hopeless. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Although the main roads are passable, the city is in shambles. There is no one to clear the rubbish and debris. The stench is overwhelming. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br />In spite of all the destruction, the people are trying hard to go back to their normal lives. They are slowly picking up the pieces. Just the other day, a man was selling barbecued banana in the city plaza as if it just another ordinary day. It was amazing and inspiring. </span><br /><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">These people have suffered so much but instead of letting it bring them down, they take what little is left and do everything they can to get back to normal. It's what everyone wants and hopes for. In order for them to do that, they still need help. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><br />The people of Ormoc City still believe. Together we will rise again. </span></span><br />

<br />
<b style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Barangay</b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b> Nadongholan</b> - 1,500 families</span></span><br />
<b style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Barangay </b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b> Donghol</b> - 600 families </span></span><br />
<b style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Barangay</b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b> Mahayag</b> - 160 families </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Barangay Cabulihan</b> - 75 families</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Each family has an average of 5 members and we are all making sure that each member has enough to survive. All the donations and relief goods are being sorted and repacked in Ormoc Villa Hotel. Afterwards, they are then distributed to the barangay captains who already have an efficient system of making sure each family has their share. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="color: #222222;">Aside from basic needs, people want to rebuild their homes. Here, the strong and able go out during the day to build their houses and find more food. For those who do not have adequate shelter for the night, they sleep at the evacuation centers. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the native Filipino dialect, barangay is a term for village. Here in Ormoc City, we are more just a collection of barangays or villages. We are a community and in this community we help each other. Together, we can build tomorrow for Ormoc City. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For now the future is not so bright but there is still hope. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For all planning to course their donations through PayPal, we have just encountered a glitch. They are not allowing us to withdraw money from the Paypal Account. They are requiring a lot of processing on our part due to the large amounts coming in from all over the world. It seems we need to submit a lot of requirements before they allow </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime, we cannot afford this delay so please. DO NOT DONATE TO THE PAYPAL ACCOUNT STARTING TODAY. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For faster processing, you can remit through the following avenues: XOOM, MONEYGRAM, WESTERN UNION and other remittance and money transfer establishments worldwide. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you need to send money, please directly deposit to the following accounts:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>CHINABANK </u></span><br />

Hello everybody!<br />
<br />
I am now in Cebu City and this is an update on where we are in terms of cash donations.<br />
<br />
<b><u>1) Through Paypal</u></b><br />
As of Nov 14 9:23 am, total amount collected: <span style="background-color: orange;">$2,114.12 SGD</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><u>2) Cash donations (including bank transfers)</u></b><br />
As of Nov 14 9:23 am, total amount collected: <span style="background-color: orange;">$7029 SGD and Php 1000.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Total Amount of Money Raised (so far) :</b> <span style="background-color: cyan;">$9,143.12 SGD</span></span><br />
<br />
Because some of the cash and pay pal donations didn't go through until late last night/early this morning, I was only able to send part of the funds.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I have remitted a total of <b>$7,489 SGD </b>or<b> Php 257,247.15</b> which we can start using today. The rest of the cash I will get changed to Philippine Peso later today.<br />
<br />
Please see the remittance receipts below.<br />

Our house in Cebu was filled with relief goods like canned sardines and meat, instant noodles, rice, water and other supplies and grocery items.<br />
<br />
I would like to thank our dear family and friends who have given these from the goodness of their hearts. These have already been shipped to Ormoc for distribution to the survivors of Typhoon Yolanda.<br />

<br />
<br />
It has not been an easy week. A lot of our countrymen in the Visayas are still in need of food and water. We will not give up our cause to help my beloved hometown.<br />
<br />
If you would like to donate in cash or in kind, please do so. I have posted several channels where you can course your donations through.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">"The private sector in Ormoc has grouped together and called themselves the Yolanda Resource Center. It's base is in Ormoc Villa Hotel and heading it is Ret. Army Officer Troy Bumagat. An organizational meeting was held yesterday at 3pm and present were the Ormoc Chamber of Commerce, officers of two Rotary Clubs, the Supreme Lions, Ormoc City Medical Society, Ormoc Doctors Hospital, BCBP, Lingkod ng Panginoon. We need more groups to pitch in and ensure smooth distribution and smooth transparency. Its objective is to receive donations and ensure that all barangays in Ormoc gets their fair share of relief goods as EVERYONE, rich and poor, the haves and the have nots, are hungry and in need right now. Kay right now, there are a lot of groups wanting to donate but they don't know where to. They don't want to pass thru the LGU, too. So we would need volunteers in the next few days. For more information on how you can pitch in, please call or text Troy at 0917 307 9688 and or Inigo Larrazabal at 0917 306 1264. I know we are all affected by Yolanda but some of us who have already achieved a semblance of our normal lives can pitch a hand. We must rise above of own needs and help rebuild Ormoc."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Help for Ormoc</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Ormoc City, Leyte is my hometown. My family, friends, and people I have known all my life live in this port city of a population of about 200,000.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Last Friday, November 8 2013, supertyphoon Yolanda, internationally known as Haiyan hit Central Philippines making 6 landfalls across 8 provinces. With our location close to the Pacific Ocean, we are used to typhoons but nothing could have prepared us for the wrath of Yolanda. With winds of about 315kph or 195mph, nothing was spared. The typhoon hit the city around 6.30am and didn’t leave until 2.30pm that day. I was able to get in touch with my family on Friday night and they are all safe. From what they have told me, the number of casualties so far is minimal but there is a lot of damage around the city. Most people have lost their homes. The roofs of people’s houses, including my family’s, are either severely damaged or completely gone. My brother Iñigo has said that because most of the efforts by the Red Cross are pouring into Tacloban at the moment, my city and the neighboring towns are not getting food, water, and other basic supplies. People are hungry, homeless, and in dire need of our help.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Stories from everybody I know are heartbreaking and it is very difficult to be away during this very challenging time. My brother, Iñigo said that in the midst of all this devastation, many feel grateful that they got a second chance in life. "<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Surprisingly, in the midst of all this devastation many here feel grateful and lucky that they got a second chance In life. Property damage is unimaginable but we know we will get through this. What really is important is that we are alive. There are so many who have perished and have lost loved ones here. It's an unbearable feeling. But we have to pick up the pieces. With your help and the grace of God we will again rise up</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">."</span></span></div>
