Bayanihan ROCKS!!!

Ondoy and Pepeng definitely wreaked havoc in our country and our fellow countrymen who were greatly affected need help. NOW.

I was lucky not to have been affected by both typhoons and I felt that it was my responsibility to help out. So when I got a ym message from my bestfriend if I wanted to help out, I was all out for it. I felt that it was the least that I can do for them.

Day 1 — September 28, 2009

National Red Cross Headquarters. We repacked relief goods and carried them to the truck The boys had more work to do with the intense carrying of sacks and sacks of rice. haha! It wasn’t really a tough job but it was a nice feeling knowing that in my own little way, I have helped out and enjoyed doing it.

Day 2 — September 29, 2009

National Red Cross Rizal Chapter. There was sooooo much to do yet so little space to move in. Well, we just had to deal with what was given to us. Intense ang pasa-pasa system at buhatan galore. Boys were well-utilized. ;P

We were deployed by night time and it was one helluva experience. Kadiri talaga yung baha. Hindi talaga ako maarte pero grabe yung baha! But the flood was the least of our worries. We were there to help out and we did exactly that. It was soooooo rewarding to see the victims still happy despite their situation. J Iba talaga ang pinoy!

Dead tired, sweaty as hell but our hearts were beating gladly with our accomplishment.

Day 3 — October 01, 2009

We were all tired from the previous operation so we decided to skip Wednesday and got back on Thursday. This time in National Red Cross Alabang. But it was complete pandemonium there! We decided to transfer to St. James the Great Parish inside AAV.

So many things to do, so much space, it was the perfect place. Drawback: nosebleed galore! =))

It was nice to see rich people extending their lending hands to those greatly in need of help. Cheers to you!

Pinoys have responded to the need of those greatly affected. All those abroad, pooled their resources together and sent it here. Celebrities, musicians, tycoons and “normal” citizens all unite for one cause: Bayanihan.

What Bayanihan is all about

Iba ang pinoy. Walang mayaman, walang mahirap. Walang sikat, walang hindi sikat. Lahat para sa bayanihan. Mabuhay tayong lahat! ’til then…
