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:
