Last September 26, typhoon Ondoy (international codename: Ketsana) ravaged the Philippines, more specifically the central area near the capital Metro Manila.
Personally I haven't been affected because I live pretty much on top of a hill and nearly isolated, but several people I know got their houses flooded in and destroyed and several hundred thousand people are stranded.
Here are several articles on it. The google search page.
And more youtube videos.
If anyone is able to help, you can donate through paypal, or here is an incomplete list if you are local and are able to donate food, clothes, etc.
Any and all help would be very much appreciated.
