May every Filipino you encounter in the world thank you all personally. Our people affected by the recent natural disasters may not have a very Merry Christmas, but because of all of you, they will feel that there is hope for one. God-bless all of you and all those in this country who make it better for others in need.''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''

Although I really hope these donations will be received by all the victims of the typhoon and won't be pocketed by corrupt officials.-=rayna.keith=-

Bit of a dilemma for me, part of me is really pleased that money and aid are being sent, then I read that Singapore is sending $50000, that quite frankly is an insult considering how many OFW's are there keeping their economy thriving, and as far as Saudi is concerned that's a personal donation that's probably less than he earns in interest in a day..... get your hands in your Royal pockets

If you're going to quote me, then have the courtesy of quoting everything I said and not cherry picking. You seem to have left out the important first sentence where I said I am pleased that money and aid are being sent.
Let's not make this into a petty war of words, instead keep the topic on donations.
Thank you

Walang anuman, salamat din for posting this thread !
You will see the Philippine flag next to my name here .
I am doing whatever I can to support my Filipino friends by keeping in contact.
I am keeping a close watch on the news as it unfolds from the Philippines, and the international responses. Anything of interest and help regarding health issues will be posted on the Forum.
This is no time to be cynical or fight amongst ourselves. The consequences of this terrible natural disaster should unite all members more than any other issue .
This post is NOT about me, except to pledge continuing support. I wish I could afford more. Bahala na.

Well said Doc - my only concern is that donations are channelled through organisations that are able to quickly provide max relief without removing large slices to cover admin and inflated CEO salaries - this makes me suspicious about some large British charities and the UN

The aid is becoming more impressive here are some figures from the BBC. It's great to see the whole world seems to want to help in one way or another. It would be nice to think that as we approach the season of goodwill the people of the world will be moved enough to contribute to one of the appeals.
AUSTRALIA: $9.3m package, including medical staff, shelter materials, water containers and hygiene kits
JAPAN: $10m, including tents and blankets. 25-person medical team already sent
SOUTH KOREA: $5m plus a 40-strong medical team
INDONESIA: Logistical aid including aircraft, food, generators and medicine
UAE: $10m in humanitarian aid
US: $20m in humanitarian aid, 90 marines, aircraft carrier plus logistics support
UK: $16m (£10m) package including emergency shelter, water and household items

Apparently this comment deserves negative rep, with the comment "rude mate...very rude!!"
Kindly someone explain to me what's so rude about the post
Would a mod or administrator kindly look into this and make a decision whether they think it's justified or not and then get back to me.

Thank you for clarifying that, and apologies for taking it off topic. I can't say that I agree to the no involvement rule as someone could take a dislike to a fellow member and consistently give negative rep without justification. I'm here to follow the t&c's not change them

Lovely posting Sars and very much appreciated, thank you! The speed and size of the aid donations being made from the UK is a wonderful indication of how much the British care about and want to help the Filipino people who have lost so much in terrible circumstances.
It's also fabulous to see other countries providing a united front and pledging desperately needed support .
