SURVIVAL ⚔️ SOLIDARITY Mutual aid is solidarity-based support to unite against a common struggle. We take on the responsibility of caring for one another, rather than leaving others in suffering to fend for themselves. Aid is offered in the spirit of solidarity & reciprocity, with a larger vision towards liberation for all. In our culture, this can be understood within our values of bayanihan, kapwa, and pakikiramdam. ✊🏾⚔️🌿 Our global community is directly supporting mutual aid relief work on the ground here in the Philippines. ᜐᜎᜋ salamat for the love across seas!! Without solidarity, there is no SURVIVAL 🗡️ Typhoon Relief Ops #TabangHinobaan Survival Arts x FOOD N∅T B∅MBS . . #SurvivalArts #MutualAid #Philippines #TyphoonRelief #Survival #Solidarity ᜉᜒᜎᜒᜉᜒᜈ (at Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/survivalarts/p/CY4LE-Iv4L3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have a heart, & get some art too! A donation perk from our Indie Go-go campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-peace-center Donations for the Peace Project at @thewhole9gallery have transformed the typhoon-devastated town of Tabunok in the Philippines from an overgrown lot filled with tents and broken dreams to a vibrant community of homes with a bright future. Our initiative continues with The Peace Center which will serve as the epicenter of this community’s transformation -- we'll expand the co-operative that we started, a weekly Farmer's market will take place selling (amongst other things) organic fruits and vegetables that are being grown in the community, vocational training will be brought in, the center will host arts and cultural programs, and micro-lending will begin -- all designed to turn a terrible tragedy into an enormous opportunity for abundance and prosperity. Your donations make a difference! #disasterrelief #typhoonrelief #communitybuilding #peacecenter #vocationaltraining #microlending #TabunokIsland

Blessed to be curating the art for Camp Rebuild - A Charity Art Show.

BKP-California, Inc. presents “Camp Rebuild”, a charity art show to benefit its “Camp Rebuild” project, an initiative to help restore the livelihood of residents and families of Camparang village in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, one of the areas of the Philippines that was most adversely affected by 2013’s Typhoon Haiyan, the world’s strongest storm in recorded history. The relief and recovery process from Typhoon Haiyan is an ongoing one that will continue for years, as thousands of Filipinos are still struggling to rebuild their livelihoods due to the destructive and devastating effects of the typhoon.

Arrival in Tacloban, Leyte

I woke up at 2am to get ready for my day going to Tacloban. I left my mom's town of Pililla, Rizal after 3am and we drove to find the "new" terminal 4... so I arrived around 430am and checked in but waiting until a little before 7am to board the plane to Tacloban. It's about a 1 hour flight from gate to gate Manila to Tacloban. I definitely got emotional getting ready to land in Tacloban. An aerial view is all you need to see how damaged this area has become. Luckily, I have contacts that live about 2 hours away in Baybay, Leyte who were willing to pick me up at the airport. The airport had damaged walls and significant damage from what I saw. So as I landed, I started to cry. It's been an emotional journey to get to central Philippines. This started as an idea, to visit the Philippines and continue my research. It became a reality when I bought the ticket to finally go to the Philippines for the 2nd time in my entire life. So the locals received me well and we went to the MacArthur memorial in Tacloban city and took pictures, I was approached by a young child about 8 or 9 years old asking for money or food. I wasn't really too sure because of the language barrier... and it was hot out! I took pictures with my new friends in front of the memorial. We then made our way to the San Juan Unico Bridge (the longest bridge in the Philippines that connects Leyte island to Samar) and it began to rain! It was on and off rain. So on our way back to Baybay, passes through Tacloban proper... This is where the ships along the wharf went land-based. We pulled over again and took the photos and passed by Tacloban coliseum which is no longer a evacuation center. The devastation I witnessed we undeniably shocking. All I could say was "Wow", what else can you say? We stopped in a local village looking for a Volunteers for Visayas orphanage website. We found the Baranguay captain who at first didn't know where we actually wanted to go then I gave him the paper that I wrote down the information my mother wanted about the orphange she wanted to sponsor. Luckily we found the site and met the children. The organization had started with about 12 kids that needed sponsorship and then now help 37 children who are the poorest of the poor. We were there for about 20 minutes because it was hot and rainy (sunny then rainy than sunny while raining = summer in new england!) I made contact with the director. After speaking with her, I hope she emails me with the information I was asking from her to help these kids when they go back to school in June. I gave the donation to the Baranguay captain who is constructing about 5 homes and an office for the organization. The $100 (P4500) will be put to good use and I also gave him the coloring books. So we continued on our way south and I inquired about damages in Tacloban and Baybay, and there still is no electricity in Tacloban or its limited. In the more rural areas we passed I found the shelterbox tents. I'm happy to see that they are being utilized! The scenery here in Leyte is absolutely beautiful. It's so green!!! The trees and the air is so fresh (minus the occasional transportation fuels), it was breathtaking. Then... we crossed into Baybay and we got a flat tire! In the high noon sun. We found shelter in the road homes to let use the comfort room (bathroom or CR). We went to eat at the barbeque - the best barbeque in Baybay! The food here is so good!! After that we were in the port area of Baybay, beautiful harbor area. We made it to my friend's home where I napped for about 4 hours.

The Bukas Palad Music Ministry is a community of young people who compose, record, and perform original Filipino religious music.  Many of the most popular and well-loved praise songs in the Philippines were first sung and recorded by Bukas Palad. "Hindi Kita Malilimutan", "Tanging Yaman", "Sa 'Yo Lamang", "Anima Christi", "I Will Sing Forever", and “Humayo’t Ihayag” are but a few of the songs Bukas Palad has sung and spread over its 28 years.  Since 1986, Bukas Palad has recorded 18 albums and has performed in hundreds of concerts across the Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States.  In over quarter of a century, Bukas Palad has grown to become an important force in Filipino music, and even after celebrating its 25th anniversary on June 7, 2011, Bukas Palad continues to aim to enrich and deepen its rootedness in Ignatian spirituality; as it continues to aim for excellence in writing, performing, and propagating its songs. In particular, Bukas Palad aims to create new music to fill the needs of the Filipino faithful, to give a voice to people’s most fervent prayers.

  Following the many tragedies that the Philippines has and continues to experience, Bukas Palad has dedicated 2014 to singing of hope and healing.  We proclaim God's words, "Huwag kang mangamba. Be not afraid," as we visit various communities, to sing and to pray with our church and our people. It is our hope that our concerts in North America will help Filipino communities be one with our nation as we face the long road of healing and rebuilding with the love, hope, joy and generosity of Christ.

I want to be silently judged for drinking coffee by Mrs. Hughes!!

I'm going to keep this post nice and short. I know, big difference from my usual Monday rants. But this week I'm going to let some of my favorite people in the world (besides the ladies that I write this blog with) do the talking for me: 

My Two Cents

What I Gave Up: A new box of K-cups ($10). We're using the manual filter thingy instead. Judge all you want, Mrs. Hughes.  Where It's Going: Long-lasting typhoon relief via business recovery in the Philippines.  Why: Because the Philippines still has a long way to go. And also because it's my lifelong dream to give Carson a hug. 

-- Marissa, needs a lady's maid. 

P.S. Another great video, created by the Philippines to thank everyone for their support, can be viewed here.

The largest Peace Panel prints available at The Whole 9 Gallery, from some of this year's 2014 contest winners. The top middle was last year's (2013) winner, & the hands clasped in peace at the upper left is a composite of all this year's final selections of the Peace Starts Here contest, & the others are new top selects from this year. All proceeds of these #artprintpanels go to The Peace Project, where they are building a 2nd community of houses for Typhoon disaster relief victims in the Philippines. #artforpeace #peacestartshere #visionofpeace #peaceArt #createpeace #createcommunity #TyphoonRelief
