This is the right time!

Com'on Filipino Youth, this is one true moment where we can be united and spread help to those who are in dire need. This is not just about the material things but also the emotional support that we can lend those brothers and sisters suffering from the drastic effect left by typhoon Ondoy to our country especially in the Metro.

Many people thinks I'm just getting on with the bandwagon where famous youth personalities go out and serve the nation. I know it's not right to state my real mission for that would be just between me and the Almighty Father in Heaven. In my viewpoint, instead of making "batikos" to the reasons why people are motivated to help, why don't we just support each other by doing our share to help save those in need.

First, allot time to pray. We should and must be very thankful that most of us are safe and even not affected by the harm of typhoon Ondoy.

Second, try your best to donate and help in the distribution of the relief goods in any volunteers or donation centers in your area.

Third, make use of technology. Retweet, Repost, Resend every important info

Fourth, let's remember to keep the Bayanihan Spirit Alive!
