Re: Pepeng Love Train
Serge Gregorio
I'd like to introduce you to my cousin, Doc Darby Santiago (opthalmologist with PGH). I hear he has been doing relief work in the Cordilleras too. Maybe you can swap notes...
Darbs: Saan ka man now, hope you and your team are okay. Godspeed!

Hi Gio.Sama sama tayo dito.Idol? Hahaha. Hindi naman. We just do what we have given the resources and networks we have.Alot of goodwill din kasi we've been doing this relief volunteer task pag may disaster ever since college pa.And mga batchmates and friends who grew up with us are now in a position to be able to broker partnership for and with us.Kaya naging madali when a friend who is a friend is a friend of the owners of Robinsons and made this arrangement with the office.Repost?
Sge ba.Pero for proper billing.Dont have to mention my name.Just use: Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan Task Force Noah.This is the disaster response group of the Jesuits.Attached is the logo we are using for Lingap LuzonSama Sama tayong lahat dito.
Ang next natin is to come up with coordination.Tulad ng nabanggit ni Serge na using mapping ng Google.

Hi Gio and Serge.
Thanks for including me in this discussion loop.Love Train! Lupet! :-)Yes, SLB is into relief.Network ng SLB ang Catholic schools as well as Dioceses -- thru them babagsak sa mga parishes.Yes. Totoo that it is indeed hard to get goods lalo na kung malayo na sa 'Imperial Manila' heheheThats why, recognizing this situation and previous experiences na mahirap magmobilize ng resources for relief outer-outer MetroManila nag partnership kami with> Robinsons Supermarket.We order in Manila and they will release it sa Robinsons Supermarket nearest to disaster area (ie: Baguio, Dagupan, Pangasinan, etc). Naka packed goods na siya according to how we want it per packed (3kilo rice, 3 canned goods, 3 noodles, 1Liter water, 1 100gcoffee, 1 180gpowdered milk, 1 1/4sugar) -- less than p300 per pack.So if you want, if you have cash donations, we can ride the purchase and release it sa area na may network kayo to receive it.As for trucks, we ask our local partners (mga tatanggap ng goods) to refer trucks to us.Or even yong Robinsons to refer trucks to us.We hire them locally (ie: dagupan, pampanga, etc) then send them to the parishes, diocese, schools na tatanggap ng goods. lower cost ng trucks compared to kung galing pa Manila papuntang Dagupan.That is our simple set-up thus nagiging mas mabilis ang response time with lesser cost on SLB's end. :-)Plus wala pa masyadong volunteers kailangan except mga 10 or so to oversee, document and help out sa unloading (Robinsons supermarket din kasi nag load to the trucks)Thus, what can we offer?
We can offer the Robinsons set up.We can give you the contact numbers ng truck services na nagagamit so far (kailangan ko muna ayusin)Lastly,Tom we will be deploying 5000 goods (28tons) to Ilocos Sur and another 5000 goods (28tons) to Baguio.

Hi guys,
been a long time.
1. I got a favor to ask. I'm organizing the Pepeng Love Train which ideally is a train of trucks and other vehicles ferrying relief goods where they are needed up north. It's been hard to get goods, vehicles and volunteers. People's compassion seems to be proportional to the network affected over square of the distance. But that nature is just an obstacle to be overcome by a little effort. So if you or anyone you know could share relief goods (recommended pack = 5kilos rice, 5 noodles, 5 sardines), trucks (or any vehicle for that matter though trucks can carry more load) or volunteers, please let me know thru email, fb, twitter or mobile 09175777602. 3 trucks and airplane left today (I've asked them to report on flood levels and conditions of roads), more leaving next week. But it's not enough. It has to be a "train." What can you share to the train?
2. On my part, I'm working with my colleagues to get the carriers adopt a universal SOS shortcode that's free of charge and will also automatically get location data. But, as anything in the mobile industry, this may take time because we have to work out details with each operator, trying to convince them to adapt a standard procedure and not push a different one for their specific networks, as is usually the case. So good that we have Frontline SMS that is independent of the carriers.
3. I would like to organize us into a purely independent, citizen/volunteer powered site/mashup/system (it's still a broad idea in my head) that allows us citizens to use technology, new media to help ourselves, whether it is for disaster mitigation and recovery, election watch (next year!!) or citizen reports (crime, illegal logging, etc.). Let's do it!
That's all for now.
Gio
cheers,
Gio

Do you guys have a website so I can refer a link to my post?
also, if you got a step by step on how people can do how you guys do it. what to do, who to call. That would be awesome.
I really want to organize this group that Serge and others started and invite other people like you for a citizen powered thing (i dont know pa what it is pa in detail kasi nag bibrainstorm ako sarili ko) using available technology to empower people to help themselves in times like these but not limited to disasters halimbawa election na next year.
thanks

Relief operations can become something like "carbon trading"... what do the others think?

Serge, Gio and Doc DabsActually wala pa nga updated website ang SLB.magpapatulong pa kami kay Serge dito baka may 'libreng' mga tech people na pwedeng ito naman ang tutukan (other than the google map of the different frontline partners ng SLB).As to step by step.Wala talaga. We just call this person na kung saan na endorse nina ng mga Gokongwei's to receive the call from SLB.In a way kasi other than the frontline release of the orders (packed),parang binibigyan ng Gokongwei's yong SLB ng 3 to 4 days credit line kasi they release the goods and we pay it their using SLB check.We will meet up with Robinsons team to assess the partnership with SLB.Kaya we will tell them of this prospects in the future.And future collaborations with other groups needing the services of Robinsons Superpermarket.Interested kami sa SLB with "available technology to empower people to help themselves"Kaya this project with Serge and SLB.Medyo slow burn pa siya ngayon kasi basically its encoding first the different schools and local partners. Then later lalagyan na yan ng laman and muscle para magamit in the future.Balitaan.

Hahaha.On SLB's end, madali sya ma justify.We are not in the business din kasi of educating students (ie: Ateneo, LaSalle, students to be part of volunteerism) though SLB was an active player sa Ateneo Task Force: Ondoy. SLB provided the linkages to Supermarket and trucks and etc...Ergo, we need to be 'more efficient'profit din sya for Robinsons yes.But for SLBs operation it is cost cutting for the ff reasons:a. we don't need to feed volunteersb. we don't need to 'hire' or pay utilities for water and electricityc. we don't need to mobilize volunteers to get goods from Supermarket (which we will still buy at market price) and bring them to a warehouse then to have a team of volunteers do repacking.d. we dont need to mobilize trucks to bring goods from Manila to drop off frontline partners for distribution.e. Robinsons group will load it to your truck (plus commissions on big sale goes to province supermarket)f. we hire trucks around / near Robinsons where we get the goods kaya local economy infusion din sya to much needed cash sa local economy.Work of SLB isa. call Robinsons to order XXX of goods packed and released atie: Robinsons Cabanatuan for Tuguegarao, SanJose, Pantabangan, Carranglan)ie: Robinsons Pampanga for Arayat, Macabebe, Guagua, etcie: Robinsons Hacienda Luisita for Dagupan (when Robinsons Dagupan was still under water)ie: Robinsons Dagupan for Dagupan areas like University of Pangasinan (as evac center) or Mary Help of Christian Diocese for parishes around Dagupan/Pangasinan, and also towns in Sta. Barbaraie: Robinsons Dagupan for Ilocos Sur (trip bukas) and to Baguio (trip bukas)b. look for local truckers and coordinate pick upc. send team from Manila to loading point. then send it to frontline partners like parishes, archdiocese and then in some join in the distribution sa mga families.Mas gusto namin syang isipin as "decentralizing"hehehe

"This is a group of concerned citizens who want to contribute to the relief of our brothers and sisters affected by typhoon Pepeng. It's called the Love Train because one of its main purposes is facilitate the delivery of relief goods and volunteers to the affected areas up North from Manila."
cheers,
