PUSONG PINOY TEAM DUBAI STEPPED UP TO HELP TYPHOON ONDOY VICTIMS

Upon appointment as Team Leader in Dubai, Cherry Rose C. Tanedo, wasted no time. Within a few days, she assembled a dedicated group of enthusiastic volunteers. Her team went on to collect vanloads of clothes and food items for Typhoon Ondoy victims.

PUSONG PINOY greatly appreciates TL Cherry's family, friends, and former co-workers at Hyder/Holford in Abu Dhabi for donating relief goods. Special thanks to Mr. Paulie and Mr. Malony Silva for driving all the way to Dubai from Abu Dhabi to deliver the goods! Clothes and food items were turned over to GMA Kapuso in Dubai for its foundation's relief operations in the Philippines. Shipment of the donated goods was made possible by AFFAIR Organization of Emirates Airline crew.

TL Cherry salutes those who went out of their way to organize a donation drive in their respective offices/groups:

Kristine Marasigan and FEU Alumni Batch '04
