Jaylord de los Santos, co-head organizer (together with Benjie Madolin) of the Guimaras Fund drive of Accenture Philippines wrote this letter to demand transparency in the handling of funds to ensure that it will go to the people of Guimaras.

To date, Accenture Philippines has gathered Php151,920.00, 50 boxes of goods and other non-cash donations. Thank you Accenture! THE FUND DRIVE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO OCT. 15.

“As much as we would like Petron to fully own the responsibility for this tragedy and pressuring them to act in a greater proportion, we need to do our part in tangible terms to help the people there.”

“I work for Accenture and along with other organizers, we promote in the company a fund drive for the people of Guimaras. I’m sure that all over the country and the world similar endeavors are being spearheaded by numerous individuals. In terms of the outpouring of help, we can still be thankful of the fact that Guimaras people are not alone in this and a lot of people are one with them in their hardship.”

“I’m sure that as I write, millions or even billions of pesos have already been pledged and are on its way to the local gov’t. of Guimaras. Let’s help make sure that all the aid/support(monetary or in kind) collected are not mishandled.”
