"...Out of the $1,000 deposited, $only $990 are credited to the Manila South account. The $10 taken from the deposited amount corresponds to bank charges. The $990 is equivalent to PhP45,565.30."

Thanks very much and regards. CHEERZ!!!

Subject: Re: [ManilaSouth-BetaSigma] UPDATE # 2 - OBB - 'Ondoy' Relief

"BETAN Greetings..." 
"In behalf of Manila South Regional Assembly, i would like to extend our profound gratitude to all of you..." 

"...for the extra mile you have gone for our fellow brothers and their respective families for the BIG HELP you made. Definitely YES!  Tol, proper accounting with documentations will be done for this undertaking."
 
At 3pm today, sunday I attended the turn-over of the relief goods from San Beda Alumni Chapter to our Manila East Brods which I also facilitated. On the side, I happily broke the good news to all brods present that the New Yorker Brods deposited 1K USD to our account for typhoon victim brods and their families. As per our discussion with Pres. BUddy of Manila East, Sigma Beta Pres. NCR Sis Lilian, GP Norio, Brod Gerry David we will wait for the final list of victim brods from both Typhoons (Ondoy & Pepeng) most esp. those brods from the North of Luzon (Pangasinan, La Union,Baguio up to Ilocos) badly hit by Pepeng for proper allocation of relief goods using the funds you have ENTRUSTED to Manila South.  But, initially we have promised Brod Nardo B. Zambales of Osmeña College Chapter 94A (Masbate) presently residing  No. 31 Int., Masaya St., Gulod, Novaliches, QC who was also with us and whose sari-sari store in his house was swept away together with his personal things and stock inventory by typhoon ondoy. Within the week, we will purchase and promptly deliver his requested goods as a start-up inventory for his sari-sari store business which is his bread & butter. The officers present were thinking of buying Php3,500-5K worth of inventory coming from your contribution.  
 
We will update you from time to time of our activities regarding OBB being done by Manila South together with other assemblies and chapters.

"AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all of you..."

"..for painstakingly taking your valuable time just to help a fellow Betan Brother."
 
ALSO, thank you for trusting your monetary contribution to Manila South and rest assured that it is in good hands. 
 
Always stay safe and may God bless you with more of what you have.
 
Fraternally yours,
Brod dan n.

oplan: brod ko, sagot ko. sis ko, 'bangon ko.

Manila, Philippines - The Beta Sigma Fraternity Alumni Association – Manila East and Sigma Beta Sorority Alumnae Association – NCR Assembly with the help of the Beta Sigma Fraternity Alumni Association – Manila South started “OPLAN: Brod ko, Sagot ko. Sis ko, ‘Bangon ko” to help and reach out to all the BETANS who were victimized by the typhoon ondoy.

 

We all know that most part of NCR were affected, most especially in Marikina, Cainta(Rizal), Pasig City, Quezon City, and some part of Caloocan, Malabon, and Manila. There are so many organizations, charities and social services that are rendering their support to all the calamity victims. In our own little way, we render our full support to all our BETAN families who were affected as well. - Rhaizza Camero FEU-NRMF '01B
