Hello #Hive,
A week ago, and based on the suggestion by @ybanezkim26, we posted a #WATP special edition with the sole purpose to raise funds for the victims of typhoons Goni and Vamco.
At the beginning of this months, many Filipino families who were already struggling in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic lost the little they had left. Heavy winds and rain created landslides and extreme floods destroying entire villages and making many people homeless.
We needed to help them and this is why we solicited your help.
Yesterday we received the payouts from our Special Edition as well as from @ybanezkim26 Complimentary Post.
We would like to thank all of you for your upvotes and donations.
Here is the breakdown of the total amount raised (payouts + donations):
| Donor | HBD | HIVE |
|---|---|---|
| #WATP Special Edition Post | 19.139 | 151.924 (HP) |
| @ybanezkim26 Complimentary Post | 14.760 | 117.378 (HP) |

| @hive-data | 0.000 | 1.500 |
| TOTAL | 104.062 | 300.711 |
HBD 104.062 converted to the local currency is PHP 4,344.59
HIVE 300.711 converted to the local currency is PHP 1,921.54
So 4,344.59 + 1,921.54 = PHP 6,266.13
Let's round it up and make the total amount to donate to Philippines Red Cross PHP6,500
As you can see on the Philippines Red Cross page, There are several ways to donate and we have decided to use GCash which is a very popular app in the Philippines.
Here are screen shots of the payment:
