Detailed report from Bro. George Campos in Manila:
As of Nov. 13, global CFC ANCOP has released $10,952 (P460,000) worth of goods and cash for the relief operations in the Visayas.
Details are as follows (all in pesos)

- Masbate - 15K
- Cebu - 50k

Total Released as of 11/13/13 - 460k
Additional funds to be released on 11/14/13
- Samar - 50k
- Leyte - 100k
4 of the jerry cans are now in Ormoc, Leyte. Additional jerry cans and Abalze t-shirts will be flown in thru the PAF C130 flight on friday.
Our response to the relief at Leyte depends on the capability of the CFC Cebu team to source materials and the capability of the CFC Ormoc team to handle and distribute the goods. We do not want to store much goods in Ormoc due to security and safety considerations.
Information is still slowly trickling in from other provinces.
We are now opening a new hub for the relief operation. Naga, CamSur and Legaspi City, Albay will now be servicing Northern Samar and Eastern Samar.
The CFC GMC is accepting relief goods and will be shipping to the Visayas by next week.

Updates as of Nov 12, 2013 our Typhoon Yolanda
- Report from Manila -
Widespread and serious devastation in Visayas provinces. Leyte, Eastern Samar, Bantayan, Cebu, Roxas-Capiz, Iloilo, including Busuanga, Palawan. Access is extremely difficult. We have mobilized Cebu for the relief for Leyte and Bantayan. Eastern Samar and Busuanga have no communication yet as of now. We are deploying the jerry cans and relief funds via Cebu and directly to Roxas.
- As per my conversation with the Philippine Embassy this afternoon relief items are pouring in the Philippines and with the funds we release $3000 and possible another $4K by next week for Medical mission. With this said we will address immediate needs, then, medical mission, then rehabilitation for long term effect. Already we building 10 homes in Southern Leyte and Bro Ricky will be looking for a site in or near Tacloban City to build homes for our kababayan.
Please continue to include the Philippines in your prayers. God is in control and we trust Him.
