Relief Operation


The Philippines has always demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity and the people pull together and rebuild the damage while here in abroad individuals and private groups are raising funds to help victims of the Super Typhoon Haiyan. Singaporeans and Filipinos are rallying to help victims of the tragedy.
We send a considerable amount to Hilongos, Leyte through the effort of Carlou Suarez asking for the status of a liquidated data for presentation purposes however the operator Dennis Ocampo in Hilongos was too busy.
A medical practioner in Maasin Dra Acasio had volunteered and accepted our help and promise to send us the streamline operational costs and the liquidation status of the donated amount which will be reported from our sponsor. Our sponsor had donated $200,000 however we refused to accept the offer for it needs a licence to operate in a big amount.
We advice our sponsor directing their cash donation to Philippines embassy, the Philippines Red Cross and the World Food Programme but they’re hesitant to do.
Singapore and the Singaporean will provide and offer financial assistance for relief efforts like this. Thanks to Dra Acasio and the volunteers.
