Would you like to be a "Happy Pinoy Giver" this Christmas?

You all know of the terrible typhoons which passed  our country - Ondoy, Pepeng, Santi and our weather station says there are more to come :-(

But the Christmas Pinoy elves (aka selfless volunteers for the repacking of  relief goods) have not stopped.
Ever wonder what is in their sack? It might give you an idea what you can give yourself to help out.

My sister in law works for MAPFRE Insular (The non-life sister company of Insular Life Philippines) and they have prepared thousands of these sacks (yes they are packed in a 1-cavan rice sack) to give to every family of 6 people.

Now if only I could influence people to donate a sack each for Christmas, wouldn't it be great?  Would you like to know what's in the sack? I would call this MY HAPPY PINOY GIVER SACK.

But first, you might want to know where you could give the sack....send it over ABS-CBN Foundation SAGIP KAPAMILYA 

In know way is the foundation obliging anyone to give it in this manner but I would personally recommend this as it would save them the effort of repacking, and it makes me happier thinking that what I am giving would save a family of 6 from hunger and cold. Plus it is Christmas, the season of giving, SO WHY NOT GIVE BIG!
