Filipinos helping Filipinos in a Fun Way

Huge help coming from Filipinos in Kent, England! 

This is another good news!!! =)

Filipinos are naturally artistic people, they come up with innovative ways to raise funds to help fellow Pinoys in need particularly in times of crisis.

According to abs-cbnNEWS, Filipinos in Kent recently held a basketball tournament to help those who were affected by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng in the Philippines.  The basketball tournament was not an ordinary game because every basket that a team makes is equivalent to one pound or 8 pesos that will be donated to typhoon victims in the Philippines.  The organizers were able to gather 506 pounds or about P80,000 in the four games during the opening day, and the same mechanics applied during the championship game.
