The Philippine Daily Inquirer, a member of the Asia News Network, is collecting cash and items to help the victims via its Inquirer Help Fund for the Philippine Red Cross. The fund will pool the various cash or checks or bank transfer donations, and depending on the circumstances, will use these to purchase the necessary relief goods. The Inquirer usually tries to carry out the task near to the affected areas as possible, not only to cut down on transportation costs but to help the local economy. The priorities are food, water, medicine and basic clothing.
The Inquirer has several reporters in some of the affected areas, and they will help to identify which areas need help the most and how to make sure the relief goods reach the intended areas. The Inquirer periodically lists the names of the donors.
