The Philippine Red Cross is stepping up its rescue and relief operations for flood-stricken families and assisting in the evacuation of more than 8,000 individuals (numbers will rise in the coming days) with the help of Red Cross 143 volunteers. Persons rescued were from Valenzuela, Rizal, Caloocan, Manila and other affected areas.

The Quezon City Red Cross assisted in the search and rescue of the victims of the landslides in Commonwealth where three persons were given first aid and transported to nearby hospital.

The Red Cross as well is providing hot meals to more than 7,500 persons in various evacuation centers.

Earlier, the Red Cross has provided generator to Epifanio delos Santos Hospital and assisted as well in providing fuel for the generator of the UERM Hospital.

More relief operations and hygiene promotion will be conducted in some of the 174 evacuation centers where 11,591 families are still sheltered. The Red Cross is setting up welfare desks in the evacuation centers to provide psychosocial support and other welfare needs of the affected families.

The Red Cross will continue to work round the clock with more areas still under water.

The PRC welcomes donation for flood-affected families. Through your generosity, we can stand prepared for disasters. We appreciate your continuous and unwavering support. Thank you.

About the Philippine National Red Cross

The story of the Philippine Red Cross is the story of men and women from all walks of life who have dedicated themselves to the service of humanity. It is the tale of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who devoted their time and resources to help the poorest of the poor.

Professionally trained and truly compassionate, these men and women are ready to lend a helping hand to those in need – whoever, whenever and wherever they may be.

At present, the Philippine Red Cross provides six major services: Blood Services, Disaster Management Services, Safety Services, Community Health and Nursing Services, Social Services and the Volunteer Services.

All of them embody the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.

These values guide and inspire all Red Cross staff and volunteers, to whom being a Red Crosser is more than just a philosophy but a way of life.

NOTE:

• Proceeds will be remitted to the Philippine National Red Cross.
• You can also donate relief goods (e.g. Canned goods, instant noodles, blankets, purified drinking water, medicine, clothes, etc.) to Buyanihan Headquarters at Unit 1010, Cityland Herrera Tower, Makati City or at the Philippine National Red Cross Office.

I went home via Clark airport and I was so worried that Clark airport might be flooded as well, and my car would be flooded too.  Luckily it didn’t flood in Clark Airport and it is one safe place for my car, rather than I would have left it in my condo in Manila, my car would have been gone.

I got stranded in Clark area because NLEX was flooded and the rest of the roads I needed to cross to go home. 

With nothing to do, I was companied by music and color.  I brought my Urbanears with me.  I waited long hours in the airport, and more hours being stuck in Clark.

After the rains and the onslaught of the habagat, we rise again.  As always.

Then one of the performers was The Out of Body Special! Then I thought at first they were a reggae band because they had to set up a lot of instruments and they have lots of instruments (indications of a reggae band). Then they played and it was more of like RnB/Soul but it was nothing that I have heard of yet it was like a reggae – rnb – rap kinda thing and the music was just so overwhelming that you could see my amazed face really so glowing…

Ok so I said I had to blog about them.. and remind me later to buy their album (if there still is) when me and Cis would watch a movie.

And so I googled them and I do not want to download pirated copies of their music!!! They are just so… Out of the ordinary!!! so Special for me!!! See in the video below… I was so entertained by it… Nice production.. and GREAT Music!!! I wish I could view them live some more!!!

I will try to find out their gig scheds and post them for you…

In the meantime… enjoy watching!!!
