Berlin, 6 February 2014. Typhoon Haiyan is recorded as the strongest typhoon to hit the planet in recent history.
Last November 8, 2013, it devastated parts of Central Philippines. The number of lives lost and affected is unprecedented.
But ever since then, the world has been one with the Philippines in helping rebuild the nation – from sending relief goods, undertaking medical missions, all the way to pledging funds for the reconstruction of infrastructure.
This February 8, 2014, exactly three months after the typhoon, we will be one in expressing our gratitude. The Embassy of the Philippines invites the Filipino Community to visit Potsdamer Platz corner Leipzigerstraße and Kurfürstendamm corner Augsburgerstraße (C&A Building) or to support this movement by signing up at https://www.thunderclap.it/en/projects/8454-the-philippines-says-thank-you. We encourage the Filipino Community to share their gratitude and experiences by using the hash tag #PHthankyou in their social media messages.END
