Help displaced families

MORE than two months after Typhoon “Pedring” destroyed their houses, thousands of residents remain at evacuation centers in Navotas City with no place to go.  Give them hope this Christmas by donating gifts or money through the University of the Philippines’ College of Social Work and Community Development’s “Ngayong Pasko” project on Dec. 18.  Check www. ngayongpasko.blogspot.com or call Dean Angelito Manalili (0927-913 8230) for more information.  For details and pick-up arrangements,  e-mail [email protected].
