EVENTS: Save the Date: 11/6 – THE AFTERMATH: Benefit Concert for Typhoon Victims in the Philippines


American Pinoy Organization of the Youth (APOY-HCCC)

Save the Date: 11/6 7pm @ Our Lady of Victories School

What: A benefit concert organized by American Pinoy Organization of the Youth-HCCC (APOY), a new and vibrant Filipino student club at Hudson County Community College, to raise funds for the victims of two of the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines.

When: November 6, 2009 7:00pm – 12:00am
Where: Our Lady of Victories School 240 Ege Ave. Jersey City, NJ 07304

Why: Last Sept.26, Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) hit the Philippines delivering a historic amount of rainfall never before seen in 42 years. Typhoon Ondoy delivered 410mm of rainfall (Katrina 350mm), submerging 85% of Metro Manila and 25 sorrounding provinces. Sept.28, Super Typhoon Pepeng (Parma) hit the northern part of the Philippines causing flash floods and landslides.

Caught off guard, the government under the Arroyo regime was exposed to be incapable of rescuing and protecting our countrymen. $800M of the Philippines’ emergency funds was put to waste on lavish dinners and massive junkets. Now the Filipino people is left on their own to save themselves.

That is why, we the Filipino youth has decided to come together and get our acts together to help our brothers and sisters back home. Because there is no one else left to help the people but the people themselves.

Brief Summary:

The activities for this period were focused on those areas which have not been provided any relief up till now, three weeks after Typhoon Ondoy. Migrante reached out to organizations such as KAMP—the alliance of organizations of indigenous people, MCPA- Moro-Christian People’s Alliance, KMP-Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas and KMU-Kilusang Mayo Uno – and helped in their relief activities.

The communities in Taguig—both in the Muslim community and the Lower Bicutan Area – were still covered in mud. It is anticipated that the disease of leptospirosis could spread in those communities because the clean-up drive by the local government has not started.

Meanwhile, Migrante also joined the 3 day caravan to hacienda Luisita called the Caravan for Land, Relief and Justice, an activity organized by KMP. Migrante brought relief packs to add to the relief packs of KMP and was able to mobilize 12 volunteerss, 2 from the US and 1 from Spain. These packs were distributed in 3 devastated towns of Bulacan and Tarlac.

This Ocotber 22, a Migrante team of  15 volunteers left for Pangasinan to join the CDRC, Central Luzon in conducting relief activities in three towns of Pangasinan. They brought with them goods: rice, dried fish, mineral water, mongo beans and 9 boxes of clothes (Migrante  Kuwait’s donation) loaded ina truck borrowed from one of the presidential candidates. The targeted towns for the rel;ief goods are towns where families of our members in UNIFIL-Hongkong live. Their relief efforts will be reported in the next update. They will be back on Oct. 24.

Targets for next relief activities:

Brgy. Escopa, Quezon City

Sta. Quiteria,Caloocan

Libis, Caloocan

Rehabilitation Support for 24 Migrante members whose houses were washed away in Holy Spirit
