This weekend - in deference to the All Soul's Day stretch as well as the storm signal #3 over Metro Manila - Rock Ed will not coordinate volunteers from Oct 31- Nov 2.
On Tues Nov 3 - you may go back and volunteer to pack again!
Points to remember:
1. I highly encourage
signing up online so we can keep track of you and provide possible assistance for Rock Ed to assist you with pamasahe or carpooling on your shift days.
2. I highly encourage coming as a group because it makes the work a lot more fun and smoother because you already know each other. But coming as an individual is OKAY too, of course.
3. If you cannot volunteer for any valid reason, health, motherly duties, location, etc - I still encourage you to repost this
SIGN UP SHEET on your online accounts for your other friends who might be interested.
4. Brilliant ideas on how to make the goods move faster and better will be taken but only through writing (radio@rockedphilippines.org or bayanihan.online@gmail) - when you commit to helping out at the warehouse -it comes with the agreement Rock Ed gave the DSWD to work smoothly with warehouse management and follow their orders for the day.
5. Complaints and constructive criticism of the DSWD can be emailed to me gang@rockedphilippines.org because I will periodically present these suggestions to Sec Cabral's office.
6. Again - signing online is encouraged but not required to help. Walk-ins are very welcome. As per our group though -Rock Ed, I prefer to keep track of everyone for safety and group coordination awareness reasons.
7. ONLY FOR URGENT QUICK TIME RESPONSE QUESTIONS: 0917-7346742. (e.g: you're already on the road to DSWD and lost, you need to be picked up, you need pamasahe.) But for static info inquiries please just email radio@rockedphilippines.org or bayanihan.online@gmail.com --
MAP to DSWD.
8. Thank you very much for taking the time out to get the relief goods inside the DSWD warehouse out to the beneficiaries. That's the goal in the first place - to get those goods OUT.
We look forward to hearing from you. If you want to see what it could possibly look like to volunteer with us.

PS: I only put "Ms" bec the guards in DSWD think I'm either a man or a "brigade" or a frat or a "gang." :P Well, I am not- that's me on the leftmost side of the photo above.
