Typhoon Ulysses PH Relief Drive

Hello people, it’s me again, ancient_moonshine on ao3. Thanks to you and your generous donations, my friends and I were able to start our own charity drive which primarily seeks to help pandemic-affected jeepney drivers and their families. :D We’re currently aiding 9 jeepney operator and drivers’ associations within Metro Manila, with 637 members total. To date, DIWA has set up four community gardens for four different jeepney operators and drivers’ associations, as well as provided some of the drivers’ children with gadgets and internet for distance learning purposes. Through the Rotary Club, we’ve also coordinated with the Department of Health to provide them with maintenance medicines, and Rebisco food company to give them food packages. In the aftermath of Typhoon Rolly, we’ve also helped out evacuees from Guinobatan, Albay, by providing them with water after lahar buried their homes.  Check us out at facebook.com/Diwa Uplifts. However, I have to ask for your help again. I’m sure people have heard about the terrible flooding Typhoon Ulysses caused in the Philippines [international name: Vamco], right at the heels of Typhoon Rolly [international name: Goni]. Our current beneficiaries are drivers belonging to the San Mateo Maly-Philcoa Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association based in San Mateo, Rizal City, and the Tumana-Balara Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association in Balara, Quezon City. The drivers of both JODAs live in Rizal and Marikina, the worst-affected cities in Metro Manila, and many of them wound up with their homes and belongings submerged in floodwaters. These people are now staying in evacuation centers, or living in their jeepneys in their terminals while they fix up the damage to their homes and try to salvage their belongings. I will spare you the images because they’re honestly extremely upsetting, but here are some links to news sites for you to see how bad the damage is:  https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1359823/typhoon-ulysses-triggers-worst-floods-in-metro-manila-in-years

https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/11/13/Marikina-state-of-calamity-Typhoon-Ulysses.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/asia/typhoon-vamco-philippines-intl/index.html

https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/multimedia/photo/11/12/20/massive-flooding-in-san-mateo-rizal At the rate deforestation and climate change are going, and given their locations [quarrying and deforestation in nearby mountains and watersheds basically sent water rushing down their slopes and rivers swelling because there were no trees left to absorb it] the problem our beneficiaries are currently facing stands to be a recurrent one. To make matters worse, the quarantine [longest in the world] and the jeepney modernization program have sapped their sources of income dry. Hence, our drive hopes to provide them emergency relief kits and go bags, to give them resources they might not otherwise be able to afford, just in case another typhoon sweeps across Metro Manila. [and there stands to be at least 4 more, this year alone]. We pray they don’t need them anymore, but just in case...  Unfortunately, donor fatigue is a thing, and honestly local resources have been sapped dry [Ulysses did not affect Metro Manila alone, it also hit Cagayan, Pampanga, Aurora, practically the entirety of Luzon]. So this is us, the members of DIWA, asking the international community for help. So far a rough estimate of the minimum that our grab bag will cost [food, toiletries, and meds excluded given we hope to get those via donations in kind] are the following: GRAB BAG COSTING PhP110  - 1 clear bag PhP155  - solar flashlights PhP4.36  - 1 whistle   PhP14 - 1 roll of tissue Per bag cost: PhP283.36 Total: San Mateo Maly-Philcoa JODA - 50 members x PhP283.36 = PhP14,168 ; roughly USD 294.45  [USD 1= PhP 48. 28] Tumana-Balara JODA - 62 members x  PhP283.36 = PhP17,568.32; roughly USD 363.88 *If solar lamps only for Tumana-Balara JODA [depending on our budget, Marikina LGU is comparatively experienced at disaster-preparedness, so priority for the kits is San Mateo]: 62 members x P155 =  PhP9,610 [roughly USD199.04] For international donors, our Paypal account is [email protected]. You may find a link to our transparency sheet in the above image, as well as links to our official socmed accounts.  Please send me a PM if you wish to donate, and a screenshot of your donation. Unfortunately gifts are closed for the moment since I still have a backlog, but even a simple share means the world to us. ;___; Thank you so much for your support, and may we see better times ahead.  Thank you so much. <3

To the people affected by the continuous devastation by the typhoons in the Philippines. You are in our prayers.

[banished-ghost]

Hello! If you've been following international news religiously, you likely know by now that the Philippines was devastated by tropical cyclone after cyclone. If I remember correctly we had 5 tropical cyclones in the span of three weeks, and 3 of those 5 were typhoons: one was typhoon Molave (Quinta) who went through southern Luzon and the Visayas islands, the second one was super typhoon Goni (Rolly) who brought 2013's Haiyan (Yolanda) level winds and rain in southern Luzon and much more severely impacted the islands still recovering from Quinta 2 days before, and the most recent one is typhoon Vamco (Ulysses) who brought intense rain and floods reaching two stories high within 6 hours today in central Luzon including the nation's capital and reminded people of 2009's typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy).

I'm not telling y'all to donate, but if you can and want to, please please please donate to NGOs or the partners of the office of the vice president instead of directly to the government. Even the most disaster-prepared local government unit is asking for help from the private sector instead of the national government. I'm not going to rant about the government here, but there are questions about transparency, the handling of funds (especially COVID-19 funds), and more.

You all are probably wondering what's taking so long with the story that I just started...

And I only have photos to begin my explanation.

This is the aftermath Typhoon Vamco, otherwise locally named Typhoon Ulysses in the Philippines. And last November 12—this is what it did to my hometown, my house, my neighborhood... along with a few more provinces.

As of writing, there is no electricity across my entire neighborhood. The roads are ankle-deep with mud. The first floor of my house has drowned, so all wall sockets and the main circuit breaker have soaked. I don't know when power will return. Everyone affected has a long way to go in recovering what was lost.

Don't worry, everyone in my family is ok including myself and my 2 dogs. Most of our personal belongings are ok. Our kitchen appliances and furniture downstairs aren't so lucky.

All I'm asking is your understanding. I really wanted to continue the story, but as of now I have no means. I'm afraid of having overdue WIPs, but I have no choice but to keep it on hold—and as much as my heart aches to say or write it: I am forced to put the stories, the requests, etc on a TEMPORARY HOLD.

Right now, I'm only using data and not wifi, and I'm conserving it as much as I can.

I hope before December, power will be back and if that happens, I will be back.

I'm sorry, everyone. I'm just so heartbroken and traumatized about everything. This is the 2nd disastrous typhoon I've witnessed and experienced in my lifetime.

Thanks, you guys.
