i tried to post a thread about how to help the victims, but the mods deleted it in view of it looking like an ad/solicitation or something.

and i won't respond to trolls anymore--provided the mods delete the original posts of those trolls too otherwise, if those posts are still there, it will provide fodder for other posters to feast on

That's not what happened, what did happen is that your previous thread post was merged into this one (see your post on page 2 of this thread) so there wouldn't be multiple threads on the same topic w/the same type info, something that is done whenever possible, I know, I am a former CD mod.

Back to topic...

This is another way to donate money through Philippine Red Cross. Maybe, you know someone from the Philippines or some Filipinos here will pass by and read this. They can donate also through their pre-paid mobile for Globe and Smart telecom


You can text an amount 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 to 1000 Php

Prisoners in Muntinlupa

Quote:
"Inmates at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) in Muntinlupa donated their personal belongings to help the victims of Typhoon Yolanda, which caused enormous destruction and killed thousands of people in the Visayas region,"

According to NBP Supt. Venancio Tesoro, the prisoners themselves initiated the idea. They have given their spare shirts, blankets, sandals, and noodles for relief efforts for thousands of families who are suffering because of the typhoon.

^I remembered one time they also sacrificed to give their meals. They don't have money to give but they have meal to share as their donation.

I am not sure what difference it makes about how strong the storm was in context but it was large enough to cause a massive loss of life, so why not let this topic get back to the disaster in the Philippines instead of the bickering since I have friends who have lost loved ones and many others died which surely seems much more important than trivia.
