In the light of what is happening now, the magnitude of the damage in the Visayas region left by Super Typhoon Yolanda, the multitude of people still requiring help and assistance, we all could use some good news to keeps us going. The relief operations finally reaching the survivors in Tacloban and other areas is quite a good news for me. People are finally getting the aid they are most desperate to get. Let us continue to be vigilant and observant of the latest relief and rescue operation developments and be quick to help in in whichever way we can. Our kababayans in the typhoon-flattened areas needed all the help they can get.

PINAKAGWAPONG BARANGAY. All-out support from Schick’s team led by Marketing Manager Cara Ramirez-Tecson and dance diva Regine Tolentino during the last leg of Suaveng Ahit, Gwapong Schick Barangay Tour held at Barangay Kalawaan, Pasig City

Barangay Kalawaan in Pasig City bagged the “Pinakagwapong Barangay” award for its liveliness in the midst of its dense population as Schick winds down the Suaveng Ahit, Gwapong Schick Barangay Tour last September 30 in Pasig City. The bustling streets proved that this barangay was a winner, along with its officials who work hard to maintain peace and order.

Shick’s advocacy campaign, Suaveng Ahit, Gwapong Schick Barangay Tour started in December 2012. Together with the dance diva, Regine Tolentino, it aims to promote proper personal grooming, as well as cleanliness in the community. For the Gwapong Mamamayan, Schick provided free haircut and shaving services, and gave away thousands of Schick Exacta2 samples  to the residents of the areas they visited. For Gwapong Syudad, they worked with the officials of the communities and promoted maintaining cleanliness of the surroundings. The barangay caravan kicked off at Salamalabanan Subdivision in Imus, and visited barangays in Antipolo, Muntinlupa, Novaliches, Caloocan and Pasig City. A number of fun activities that promoted sportsmanship among people, like a free-throw and half-court shootouts, three-on-three basketball games and dance showdowns.

Let Us Help The Victims Of Super Typhoon Yolanda

Philippines Today, news, current issues, Typhoon Yolanda, mum for a cause

A day after Super Typhoon Yolanda’s onslaught in Tacloban and other areas in Visayas, even the updates reaching the television networks are late due to the massive damage the storm, with its strong winds and violent storm surges, made to properties, infrastructures and communication facilities. Towns are flattened and more than 10,000 are feared to be dead. Most of the Visayas region has no electricity and assessment on the damage the storm made have yet to be  made. It sure was heartbreaking to see the news and see lonely images of loss, of frightened children, of hopelessness and sheer desperation.

Even authorities were distraught at how massive and wide the damages were and were appalled to even think of where to start. One official even mentioned that nobody can prepare for a storm such as Yolanda {international name: Haiyan}, which was considered to be one of the strongest storm to ever hit the country and the world. But as emergency meetings are set up, people are hungry in the streets while a lot of people remains to be found. Although relief operations were dispatched, as well as medical teams to help take care of the dead victims,  and policemen to help maintain peace and order, there are still many who are in need of our help.

Here are some of the ways in which you can extend help to our countrymen in Leyte and other affected areas:
