    I just wanted to throw this out there. I went to Silliman Medical Center the other day to donate some blood. This was a routine thing for me back in USA. So I thought I would see how it worked here. It was a very smooth process and very professional in and out in about an hour. As you can imagine they always need blood just like any hospital and waiting until an emergency happens is always too late. I was a little surprised that very few foreigners actually donate here and perhaps the Red Cross is a more populate choice. Silliman was very appreciative and so I thought I would throw out a good word for them and their need for donations I am also interested to know if there are other volunteer organizations in Dumaguete that I might get involved with. Thanks

    Per your request for clarification: by community, I mean Dumaguete City. Were any of the DI members in need of 0+ blood, I would be happy to help.

    It is not a personal grudge, Wrye, it is directed towards the entire community that had an opportuntity to refute the rantings of Yap or to censure the editorial staff of the Chronicle. Since there was NO local comments from business,political or religious leaders to negate the insults to the foreigner community, it is logical to think that they believe much the same as Yap; consequently, if ever asked for help--as was done after Sendong and Yolanda, my answer will be an emphatic F You!
