Philippine Advertising Industry Recognizes Rain Love on Manila


Manila, Philippines. The Philippines' premier advertising trade publication, Adobo Magazine, recognizes the efforts of Rain Love on Manila in its issue for November-December 2009, with advertising godfather Neil French on the cover (pictured above).

Rain Love on Manila is listed among the venues whereby you can extend your help. The relief work continues for us - Manila, Canada, New York. We thank you for not forgetting the tragedy, and for persisting with your generosity.

Last September 26, Typhoon Ondoy (international name: Ketsana) brought the island of
Luzon a record of 13 inches of rain in eight hours, and with it, death and destruction.

On Twitter and Facebook - where over 5,000 of adobo's community congregate - there was
a non-stop barrage of reports, please and most importantly, offers for help. Within 24 hours,
several advertising and media groups mobilized to help fill the gaps in the government's
relief efforts. TV networks raised millions with telethons. Graphic designers churned out
posters for benefit events and volunteer centers. Agencies and production houses produced
viral calls for donations. Countless individuals organized rescue missions, packed relief goods,
cooked and served food to victims.

To this day, the work continues. If you want to help, here are a few places to start:

Cafe 81 supports Rain Love on Manila

(Above, L-R) Medical Headhunter Randy Libiran, Alroy Teves R.N.,
Chef and Cafe 81 co-owner Aris Tuazon, and Little Goliath's Louie Cale love Rain Love on Manila.

(Below) Cafe 81 is at 81 East 7th Street, between 1st and 2nd Avenues, New York.




New York, NY. Friends from the newest Filipino bar and restaurant on the East Side, Cafe 81, show their support for Rain Love on Manila by wearing the Rain Love on Manila shirt at the birthday bash of chef and restaurateur Aris Tuazon last Saturday, March 6.

Cafe 81 opened midway through February to give people a fresher alternative to Filipino cuisine. There are less than 5 restaurants in the city offering a taste of homegrown Filipino goodness, and with Cafe 81's great rapport with Manhattanites, it's no surprise to hear Cafe 81 is moving steadily up on that list as the go-to place to satiate those nostalgic appetites.

Next Saturday, March 13, Cafe 81 hosts a Manny Pacquiao fight night viewing, and once again Rain Love on Manila cheers with them. Join us at Cafe 81, on 7th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues.

Shoutouts to Chef Aris Tuazon, Randy Libiran, Louie Cale, Alroy Teves, and all those who showed interest and support for Rain Love on Manila.
