30 Responses

1. This is a herculean task of putting together this program – from raising funds to budgeting and overseeing the program to ensure the funding will go smoothly. It involves a lot of energy, resources and focused mind to accomplish the goal. I wish a big success on your feeding program – surely is a great help to these kids who are the future our beloved Country!

2. thanks MM! I was hoping we could get some here in cebu. MM, i’ll get one, and am spreading the word around so i hope to be able to get more donations. Artisan, this is a perfect time to visit your store!

3. Please reserve two for me (P1,000.00)preferably the clear crystal type. I will try to make deposit today to SA# 609-008282-0. For pick up on Dec 9 at Heel/Sew Quik store Megamall. Keep up the good work MM.

4. I’ll see you at Salcedo then! :) Either on the 6th or the 13th :)

5. Will be picking up my 24 ornaments on the 6th at Salcedo. How do I find you?

6. kewl! dec 6 it is for me then.

7. Hi MarketMan,

   I’ll make 2 donations, I’ll give mine on December 9, in Megamall..

   Thanks

8. deska, DO NOT deposit if you are picking up ornaments. Just bring cash, otherwise, it will be a nightmare administratively to keep track of these individual arrangements, many thanks! xkwzt, I will post more detailed description of my location and table once that is finalized, thanks! Thanks, everyone!

9. Yay, I’m so happy, the pick up dates are when I’m back home! Hmm might up my donations then!

10. But hmm… sana the cards has your website, MM. So that incase the recipients wanna take part of this in the future, they can surf the details on your site :)

11. sometime lurker, I didn’t put marketmanila.com on the cards, I didn’t want any semblance of self-promotion for the site, even if this is a non-profit, charitable effort. You may want to just write it in with your note to the recipient so they can see who the beneficiaries are…. :) Thanks!

12. will go to megamall. thanks =)

13. Hi MM

    Two for me please. Will be there on the 6th. Hope that all go very quickly.

14. MM, i’ve actually noticed the poll you used to have on the sidebar asking about the percentage of children who actually make it to college. i worked for DepEd for a while under the Adopt A School Program, and 30-40% is, i feel, already quite a generous estimate.

    i hope you’re working directly with the schools. it’s easier that way (less red tape!) and the administrators will be personally responsible for making sure your donations really benefit those who need it most.

    i laud you and everyone actively involved. good luck!

15. Will be coercing my sister (fort or makati area) or my brother (megamall area) to do this for me. If I’m not successful with that will just ask them to deposit the money in the BDO account. Thanks for keeping this up MM!

16. For those who are still not sure how to give their donation I would recommend xoom.com httpss://www.xoom.com/sendmoneynow/home?receiveCountryCode=PH

    I have made a transaction and received confirmation from MM in less than 24 hrs., that the money has been received by the bank. If you are not comfortable giving your checking acct.# for a direct transfer you can use credit card or use Paypal to pay.

    In every credit card you can request a virtual acct number which is a single use credit card number linked to your acct. You can download a virtual acct number generator by going to your card’s website. This small application will fill up forms for you and give you a single use number whenever you shop online (or pay for xoom) so that it is safer than giving your actual credit card number.

17. Got it MM. Ok payment upon pickup.

18. Ooh ok, got that, MM. But can I request, if it’s not much of a bother? Um…A separate ‘category’ for all the feeding program posts so that I can write just one link in the cards! Easier to promote to my ‘recipients.’ I felt like I had to air quote that one since we know who the real recipients would be! :) So exciting!

19. I will get my ornaments at the Salcedo market on the 6th. Am not sure yet of the exact number but I think i will take at least 4 pieces.

20. Will pick up 4 ornaments on the 6th at the Salcedo market

21. see you at salcedo mkt MM

22. sometime lurker, thank you for that brilliant suggestion, new category is in, with Christmas 2008 holiday efforts included… I will eventually tag all old posts with a charitable bent into this category… Thanks!

23. See you at the Salcedo Market, then! :-)

25. MM, do you accept checks? If so, who should I make it out to?

26. Will see where I will be on the pick up dates and will let you know. One red ornament for me, please! Wish I had more to share….

27. Yay! My eyes popped seeing the new category, not having read your reply yet! You are the coolest! :p

28. Hi MM,

    I’ll transfer the money this weekend but I will not collect the ornaments. Please give it to the kids instead to lighten up their christmas. Thanks for having this kind of program.

29. Eight for me please, pick up on the 13th at the Salcedo Market, Thanks for all your efforts for this feeding program.

30. GJN, I prefer not to accept checks, but if it has to be in check form, you can write it out to Belen Desquitado, the principal of the school in Cebu that we are helping.
