Rain Love on Manila at Maru


New York, NY. Rain Love on Manila came to the NYC-Tristate Young Professionals for Ondoy Relief mixer at Maru in Koreatown at the invitation of Ted Martinez, event organizer, who found out about the initiative last year and has since supported the cause.

Thank you to all those who came to the Rain Love on Manila table (right where the DJ is), inquired about the Rain Love on Manila mission, and made their generous donations.

Special thanks go out to Ted Martinez for inviting Rain Love on Manila and Donna Reyes for being my pitch partner for the night!

Philippine National Red Cross and Rain Love on Manila


Manila, Philippines. At the start of the year, Rain Love on Manila met the amiable people of the Philippine National Red Cross - Rizal Chapter, Pasig City, to introduce the intent of the initiative as well as to leave samples of the Rain Love on Manila shirt. Joining Deb is Myla Arzaderota and Von Gustilo who are the representatives of the organization that will facilitate the distribution of the relief once all material and financial donations have been collected.




Quietly but Steadily Raining Love


New York, NY. The year 2010 marks a quiet but steady response to the super-typhoon disaster relief of Rain Love on Manila, mainly in Manila and in New York.

According to the Managing Director of Dairy Zest Corporation, and the authorized recipient of the care packages for distribution, Nellie Flores, the boxes containing clothes and food items assembled in New York by generous people from school, the Filipino community, friends in PR, design, and the like have started to arrive in Manila. It is agreed that all of the boxes must have arrived before they begin to distribute them to the victims.

Meanwhile, we have collected the sales made from the online venues Etsy and Zazzle and are in the process of wiring all proceeds to the Rain Love on Manila - Manila contingent before devising a plan for awarding the financial assistance.
