– George Bernard Shaw

After the super typhoon Yolanda or Haiyan struck Eastern Visayas, the Philippines got the attention of the world and many offered help to restore this part of the country. With billions of pesos collected from all the donations received, most, if not all, of the typhoon victims are supposedly staying in safe and comfortable houses by now.
