Bbc news

[Terpe]

this is the first time in all the years i have been involved with the Phils that the headline news was about the Philippines,
Just makes it more closer to home if you understand what i am trying to say

My wife has noticed so many people approach her about what has happened.
To be honest they're completely shocked. Most have almost never heard of the Philippines.
Most have stated they want to make donations.

I hope the high level of exposure by the BBC and the many interviews with well known relief organisation will result in a positive response.

My other hope is that BBC will not drop it completely in a couple of days......but lets see.
I have my doubts.

Some of the most beautiful areas of the Philippines have been utterly destroyed.
It'll take a long long time to allow people to retrieve anything of the life they once knew.

The same, my wife had her residents asking if her family were alright in the Philippines, Madel has family in southern Leyte. They were very shocked about the devastation there shown on the TV.
