Attention: The Filipino Community in Brunei RE: A Call to Action: Help Typhoon Sendong Victims Dear Sir / Madam, On the night of 15th December 2011, Typhoon Sendong ravaged the port cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan in Mindanao, Philippines. Tropical storm "Sendong" (international name Washi) is the world's deadliest storm this year, latest data shows. As of December 20 the storm, which struck Northern Mindanao, the Visayas, and Palawan over the weekend, has now killed at least 957 people, the country's disaster management chief said Tuesday morning. National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) Director Benito Ramos also said they have lost count of the number of people who have gone missing following the flashfloods spawned by the storm. We, the Filipino Community here in Brunei, can help the victims of Sendong! The good people of LBC Hari ng Padala Foundation, Inc. will be able to help us send our donations in cash or in kind to those affected by the Typhoons free of charge.
