Typhoon Ondoy: An American on the Filipino’s “Bayanihan”

When I came across this blog post by Ala Paredes, it placed a smile on my face. I hope that more Filipinos would join the bandwagon of Bayanihan1.

“I wish you all could see the amazing community spirit, charity and compassion in the Phils. What I see happening here totally blows away the response to hurricane Katrina. People here have less to give, yet they’re giving ABUNDANTLY. There’s such a greater story than just the ‘death toll’ that the lame american media fails to capture.” – Source
