Cebuanos are driven to help the victims of Sendong

On Several Typhoon Threats:  “Many times Cebu is targeted but sometimes we always escape and I think it’s because ang kapa (cape) sa Sr. Sto. Niño, our brother Cebuano, is always covering Cebu and we are very lucky but we feel the pain and misery of our brothers, many of them are Cebuanos,” Gullas said.

Many individuals, groups and organizations have extended relief and financial assistance.  There were various groups scattered all over Cebu's Towns and Cities collecting donations no matter how small they maybe.  As I was about to exit at the gate of ABS-CBN today, I saw three teenagers crossing with a plastic bag of used clothing.  I saw in their eyes the eagerness to help and extend assistance to the group of volunteers in ABS-CBN Cebu, it deeply touched me.

Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.
