Typhoons batter Philippines: Ondoy, Pepeng, Melor

Typhoons continue to batter the Philippines. After Metro Manila suffered from Typhoon Ondoy last week (International name: Hurricane Ketsana), This weekend it is being hit by Typhoon Pepeng (International name: Hurricane Parma) with Hurricane Melor not far behind.

Typhoon Ondoy displaced hundreds of thousands of people in the greater Metro Manila area and its death toll has already risen to 246. Just barely recuperating from Ondoy, Typhoon Pepeng has already arrived and bringing in more rainfall. Though it has been downgraded from a super typhoon to a regular typhoon, the rainfall it will bring will defray more hope and pound on the fears of the Filipino people.

Stand by for a list of the donation centers should you want to volunteer.
