Hi Malu,

I don’t know where you are at present. Maybe you can ship the donation to:

Mayor Lakambini G. Reluya
San Fernando, 6018 Cebu, Philippines
c/o Mrs. Lissa B. Papas
Department of Education
District of San Fernando
San Fernando, 6018 Cebu, Philippines

You need to course it through the Department of Education to enjoy tax incentives under Department of Finance (DOF) Order No. 137-87. The following link may give you an idea how to forward your donation to Mayor Lakambini Reluya.

I think this issue on books and computer donation has been settled by the statement of no less than Steve Enad of the Bless of Mind Foundation. I hope all of you guys were able to read it. If you haven’t, try reading it.

The lesson here is that while we are entitled to our own opinion, we are not entiled to be wrong on our facts.

As i mentioned previously, Bless the Mind Foundation gave the Mayor of San Fernando the full authority to distribute the computers and books to whatever school that can used them including Sangat High School. Please let us put this issue to rest and instead let us focus our energy into finding ways to help out in action, rather than words.

Let me put a challenge to the very concern bloggers. I am in the process of finding ways and finances to build more classrooms and libraries in Sangat. Our family will try to contribute half a million and I might be able to find a match for a million pesos… How about the bloggers and officials of both Sangat and San Fernando match the 1.5 million so we can build a nice facility for our students. That will be a more productive undertaking rather than what is happening now. I woud like to hear from you guys and see if you are willing to put money where your mouth is. Thanks, Merry Christmas to all and Godbless.
