How to Help Disaster Victims in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan

Last Saturday, Tropical Storm Washi (local name Sendong) hit the Southern Philippines, devastating several regions, particularly the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. Thousands of people in this region (that rarely gets hit by such storms) were caught unaware as flash floods wiped out villages. As of this posting, the death toll has almost reached 1,000 with hundreds more missing, making this the deadliest storm to hit the country this year. The death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are recovered in the devastated areas. 

The people of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan (as well as other devastated regions such as Negros Oriental) are in need of help. The people need relief goods such as food, clothing, water, and medicines. In times like these, the best thing that we could do is to help.
