    As I post WGT has approx' 8.37 million accounts, the tournament has 97 scores posted.

    Wow! This is a bit staggering to say the least. Not as many "active" community members as there use to be Toods. : ((

    There are relief funds set up all over. If you can not give through WGT ,please research your local charities and GIVE as much as you possible can afford and help stop the "suffering" these poor people are enduring.

    Dear FELLOW WGT players from across the globe,

    First and foremost, in behalf of my country an its people, I THANK YOU for a long list of reasons but truly without your help, I cannot even imagine what would become of an already wiped out region...its people...I am sorry, I reckon the reports are vividly horrfic enough to bear, hence, I need not describe furthermore.

    I know that the response from this great initiative may not be reflective of the real & serious urgency that the victims need medical supplies, water and food as horrific as it may seem, it is true, a human being, my countrymen are inching closer to death with every stroke on this keyboard.  I live in Cebu City and we were merely made to experience a fraction of Yolanda's fury as compared to what I actually saw with my own eyes last Nov.12, 2013 when my friends,( a 5 vehicle convoy of different nationalities, namely, Deutsche, Swedish, Canadian, English and myself, a Filipino went to Northern Cebu to the town of Medellin to deliver 200 relief bags and water only to discover upon arriving at the roofless town plaza, that there were 700 people awaiting the basics, and we were the first team (Private) to arrive with...Food, shelter  & clothing as they had been fortunate enough not to suffer any casualties.  This is only one town in Northern Cebu and many more have not been even covered due to the intensified operations in the the obliterated cities of Ormoc & Tacloban with the highest deathtoll.  

    Needless to say, much is left to be desired from our governments action as objectively and truthfully recounted by Anderson Cooper so , sad as it may be, It will take a long time and a lot for me to restore the trust a confidence with my very own as it has been as glaring as the Sun has been that YOUR HANDS stretched out first and faster...and like I mentioned, YOU and what you all have been doing will not be forgotten by each Filipino Citizen, God bless you and your families.

     

    P.S. I am offering to officially volunteer to facilitate whatever is generated from the millions of WGT players with the condition that this be conducted with both parties legally represented for transparency and full accountability.  If you deem it fit to discuss this further in detail through another touchpoint, I am providing all my personal details with links for your reference and verification prior to collaborative efforts tee-off.
