Relief Operations Relief Operations are ongoing. The Ateneo is accepting donations, both in kind or in cash/check. The center of relief operations is the Ateneo College Covered Courts. Most needed are ready-to-eat food, canned goods, drinking water, clothes, mats, and blankets. Those who wish to donate or volunteer for Ateneo Task Force Ondoy are welcome to go to the College Covered Courts, where they will be directed, assisted, and briefed.

Missing/evacuated persons We are also consolidating a list of missing people and evacuation centers around Metro Manila. Please visit and update http://ateneotaskforceondoy.misa.org.ph.
If you know people who are missing or who are at evacuation centers, please add their names and contact information at the website. The site is currently still down, but please check back in an hour or so. We are still finishing uploading files into the site.
Just today, September 27, we were able to raise Php 83,000 in monetary donations to aid the relief victims. 3,000 packs of relief goods have also been sent to Upper Brangka Bliss.
Affected Ateneo staff The Personnel Office is also organizing relief efforts for Ateneo staff who were badly affected by Typhoon Ondoy. Donations for ready-to-eat food, rice, bottled water, canned goods, candles, clothes, cleaning materials and equipment can be sent to the Office of the Vice President for Finance and Treasurer, 2nd floor Xavier Hall, Ateneo de Manila University.
