Regardless of what Mikey Arroyo said about regulating blogs just because he was given flack about shopping for wines during Ondoy with a photo to prove it, our sites are actually one of the best mediums to propagate and nuke information to the World Wide Web. Even if the international community has no idea how bad Typhoon Ondoy is, it is never too late to be aware.

If you want to help our brothers and sisters in Manila, here are your drop off centers in Cebu. Source from the Vudu Facebook page:
