Global compassion Yolanda’s greatest ‘legacy’ to Filipinos

THE most striking contribution, if one may call it that, of Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) to the Filipino people is the unification of global compassion and services for those ravaged by the storm early this month.

The surge of foreign and local aid, not just in terms of cash or donations in kind, was not the only direct contribution Yolanda generated but more importantly the unquantifiable services and manpower of people who volunteered to help the typhoon victims.
