here's more via email from tipidtalk where i purchase phone cards. looks like local pinoy groceries will do too:
Dearest michael,
Kumusta po from Tipidtalk.com, last 9/26/2009 the greater Manila area in the Philippines was hit by a major tropical storm "Ondoy" (Internationally called "Ketsana"). This storm has devastated the Greater Manila area and some other parts of Luzon with floods of up to 1-3 stories high.
A lot of lives were lost, hundreds of thousands have lost their homes and their belongings and are now living in evacuation shelters. There are cries and pleas all over the internet for food, water, clothing for people in evacuation shelters.
And now, there is news that another 2 storms are developing in the Pacific Ocean, and 1 can hit the areas affected again this weekend.
This letter is not just a call to the bayanihan spirit of our kababayans here in the USA to help in whatever way we can to our countrymen, but most importantly this letter is a call to prayer for each and everyone of us to form prayer groups and vigils in our communities for every one suffering in the Philippines due to the storm as well as for God's intervention for the coming weekend's storm projection.
Aside from our call for prayers, we have also partnered up with Island Pacific Supermarkets and Kapuso (GMA7) Foundation so we can accept donations of food, clothing, medicine, cash, etc. If you have anything that you can donate and you live in California, you can drop off your donations to the following Island Pacific Supermarket branches:

You may also ask for a receipt for the donation from the following stores. Island Pacific Supermarkets in cooperation with Kapuso Foundation will be shipping the goods to the Philippines at the soonest possible time. For other states you may call Kapuso Foundation at their Philippine Number (632) 982-7777 or email them at gmaf*gmanetwork.com.
Meanwhile we are extending our Super Sale where you can get up to 36% Off on Phonecards until Friday, Oct. 2, 2009. Our new management at Tipidtalk.com are also making a pledge to donate all the profits from our phonecard sales for the month of September to October 2009 to Kapuso Foundation to further aid in the relief efforts. So every purchase you make from us will count towards our website's donation.
We will be making a page to track the donations of all our members, so if you have donated in any way, please email us at bayanihan*tipidtalk.com and we will list your names there so we acknowledge your help and maybe through this, we can also motivate others to help out in this time of need.
Please feel free to forward this email, the more people we can invite to help out through prayers and donations, the better it will be for our kababayans who are suffering right now.
