Hi susanna,
We just created a link to accept donations since we tried to find and aggregate possible ways from our national government to accept donations but it was still inadequate. We created a donation link in behalf of Baseline Unlimited, Inc. a US Company that has an IT/WEB outsourcing unit in the Philippines and is actively engaging in relief efforts services to provide basic needs to the hard hit areas of Manila.
Thanks,
Edward
