Stars plead for Help for Philippines

Hollywood stars called on their fellow Americans to help the victims of tropical storm Ondoy (international codename Ketsana) in the Philippines as they expressed their sympathies to the thousands of Filipinos affected .

Hollywood star Demi Moore wrote in her Twitter account that the Filipino victims are in dire need of assistance. To help, she urged them to call the American Red Cross.

“Typhoon victims in Philippines in dire need of food/clothing. Call the American Red Cross to help. 18004357669,” the multi-awarded star wrote.

Alyssa Milano tweeted the same message and posted an Associated Press article reporting the devastation caused by Ondoy.

International singer Josh Groban , meanwhile, tweeted: “My heart goes out to my friends in the Philippines.”

TV Networks ABS-CBN and GMA 7 gathered their popular stars and worked overtime through a tele-marathon and gave time (and money from their endorsements) in raising money and all sorts of donation for the victims.

The death toll from the onslaught of tropical storm Ondoy (international code name Ketsana) rose to 100 according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines as of this time.
