Rescuers in helicopters and boats worked to pluck residents marooned by flooding in the worst storm to hit Manila and surrounding regions in decades, leaving at least 70 dead and thousands homeless.
The Philippine government appealed for international aid yesterday (September 27) after declaring a state of calamity in the capital and 27 storm-hit provinces after tropical storm Ketsana struck on Saturday.
At least 300,000 people were left homeless while hundreds remained trapped on rooftops.
Filipinos long used to annual storms and flooding admitted they had never seen anything like it.
We're are doing what ever we can to help our friend and ex Philippines senator Nikki Coseteng to raise some donations for the people stranded in the flood. As reported by Nikki who runs a school in Quezon City, Manila.
Her teachers have been standing on the rooftop for 3 days, Nikki reported as we spoke to her over the phone with a heavy heart. She told us that she needed all the help she could get.
She also mentioned that she does not need any monetary help. Donations would be best in the form of clothing and other daily needs like toothpastes, pots and pans, and ready to eat can food.
We feel very much for her and now the team of GD Baby's Singapore is asking for all who reads this blog to help donate clothes that you do not wear and other daily needs to our office at 95A Soo Chow Walk. You can also give us a call at 64563526 for more help.
