Dear FRIEND Donor, "Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped." --- Prov 11:25 (GNT) I'm sure you are aware of how Super Typhoon last Nov 8, 2013 devastated the Central Philippines. One of those aside from Leyte is like Bantayan Island and Santa Fe, Cebu. TBLST | (The Tabang-Bangon-Lambo-Santa Fe ug Tanan) in its so small but significant and meaningful way of extending H.E.L.P. (Added Hope, Encouragement, Love and livelihood Provision) to those greatly hit by the typhoon has conceptualized A WAY to at least to add hope to those adversely affected by the super typhoon even especially in the aspects of their LIVELIHOOD! In fairness, there already so many NGO's initiated their help in the area but the important role that (TBLST) plays in helping people whose lives are impacted by (patronizing and/or at least helping in the aspect of recovering livelihood THAT these victims/people were affected adversely by the typhoon they may have now at present). But what can we do about it? -- continue reading < click here > Or Go to BreakDown of Computation!
Bytheway, I'm Engr. JONATHAN E. SIHAY, who happened married to a lady Santafehanon (Ms. JOCELYN ESPINOSA-ESCARLAN ARNEJO - in fairness we spent our Summer whole month of April 2014 at Sata Fe, Cebu - we knew even a little how the people are still in the process of recovery after typhoon Yolanda hit their area). I am personally just affected by the main issue of how and in what way we can at least can do to extend help to these affected people specifically in the islands of Santa Fe, Cebu. This campaign is born after knowing that even five (5) months or more now, yet still there are many people who are recovering from their stress and depression, plus there are some real inhabitants of the island THAT due to lack of papers specifically the many affected fishermen were not yet given needed assistance which even some are still the living with their children in the fear of typhoon from time to time (kahit may kunting lakas ng winds, the children shout MAMA, MAMA! YOLANDA IS HERE!) and even to the aspect of their livelihood that almost all of the equipments related to their livelihood specially even their boats for fishing, were also destroyed! So born from our hearts initiated by the spirit of love, our campaign is not just short term, "to give them a fish" but we want a possible long-term one: "to teach them (to even teach others in chain) to fish, so they could eat for a life-time and even to eat for generation to come". But then, this important work or campaign is supported largely by the support of generous donors hopefully like you who contribute to our Success in Truly Helping them. This year's goal is (to contribute directly in being AS SPONSORS OF AVAILING THEIR freshly DRIED BULAD plus(+) we ALSO intend to build 100 BOATS for 100 families (simple inexpensive but functional boats to be used in support to their fishing livelihood which for this case we intend to raise a gross amount of NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (PhP 900,000) (US$ 22,500), BEFORE THE YEAR ENDS. (See computation below) Now with the possible supports specially that out of love, this will allow (TBLST | Tabang-Bangon-Lambo Santafehanons ug TANAN) to pursue and succeed in extending the dreamed help to those who for now are in need of such assistance. So how is it? Simple! Without the continued support of generous donors like you, these needs will likely go unmet. So we come to your door WITH THIS SERIOUS AND URGENT REQUEST: In order to continue making a difference in the lives of individuals (EVEN INCLUDING YOUR OWN OR OUR OWN, kaya may word na "TANAN") affected by the work of (TBLS | Tabang Bangon Lambo Santafehanons ug TANAN), your CONTRIBUTION: it is vital for this year's capital campaign to be a success. What's initially be for our potential donors? Can we count on you to make a "WIN-WIN DONATION" to this important cause? Why win-win? By making a CONTRIBUTION OF AT LEAST P300 (US $7.5) from every individual touched by the SPIRIT OF LOVE, he/she or you will be then have the privilege of tasting our FRESHLY DRIED KARAHO FISH. (Every P300 (US $7.5) that one extends to help, he/she will receive a P1/2kg of Dried Fish as SORT OF our gratitude!)

Since this is to establish long term relationship with our Donors like you, we still are contemplating the GREATER BENEFITS that not only the victims we are to help but also to get everyone involve in the spectrum (both RECIPIENTS AND DONORS) to be as ONE-FOR-ALL; ALL-FOR-ONE BENEFICIARIES of the upcoming program that this TBLS is conceptualizing, that's why we specifically mention the term "TANAN" in our TBLST!

Thank you for your consideration and hopefully your continued support. To God be the Glory! Prayerfully yours, (jonsihay) ENGR. JONATHAN E. SIHAY Interim Leader To learn more of Engr. JONATHAN E. SIHAY <click here > Computation | Break Down: To our Committed PLEDGER | Every amount of P300 Donation Or Support you give to TBLS, that also entitles you back to our 1/2 BONELESS DRIED FISH KG SORT OF GRATITUDE (aside from allowing yourself as the Contributors to BOAT Making and Victims Livelihood Support). In fairness masarap na masarap ang Boneless Bulad! - Pride of Kinatarcan Island - the farthest Island Of Santa Fe, Cebu! Break-Down: For every P300 ============= ---> P200 (about 66.66%) goes to Production and Acquisition Cost of the Fresh BONELESS Dried Fish (excluding shipment)! ---> P 10 (about 3.33%) goes to administration cost! a little honorarium for workers and those that involve in mobilizing the program ---> P 20 (about 6.66%) Reserve Fund for Special PROGRAM intended for the GREATER BENEFITS OF ALL INVOLVED IN THE SUCCESS OF THIS ENDEAVOR (both the Pledgers , Givers, Partners and RECIPIENTS)! ---> P 70 (about 23.33%) goes to BOAT Making! (We intend to build 100 small and non-expensive boats). One (1) boat cost is approx equal to P2,1000 each (about US $52)! ( A possible model is shown < CLICK HERE > For every one (1) boat = a number of 30 packs (of each P1/2kg) of Dried Fish is to be given away! 30 packs @ P300/per pack = P9,000 That means every time P9,000 is collected or generated, expect a one (1) boat will be built! So fro P900,000 then we could build 100 boats... Added hope is added at least 100 families too! Or shall we say: For every 30 packs = 1 boat Hence 100 boats x 30 packs = 3,000 packs (of 1/2 kg per pack) 3,000 packs @ P300 per pack = P900,000 =============================================================== Approximately 3,000 packs of 1/2 kg each will total to 1,500 kgs of Dried Fish =============================================================== Therefore the target amount to raise before the year ends would be: 3,000 packs @ P300 equals (PhP900,000) or ( US $22,500) So in motivation: For this to be realized, we intend to reach 3,000 donors of even sharing their P300 support each! Viola! Target is hit! With the power of internet plus with ANYONE'S HEART AND SPIRIT OF LOVE! Though 3000 persons each to contribute P300 each is not so easy to reach but I believe, this still could be possible for the sake of PROSPERITY! Anyone's desires for prosperity in some sense HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE IN ANY HUMAN INSTINCT !... (PLUS DRIVEN BY FULL HONESTY, INTEGRITY AND GOD'S WISDOM AND GUIDANCE) and as a as a believer of the principle: "Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped." --- Prov 11:25 (GNT), We know it's not easy but (with any of you willing to share his/her P300 minimum even for one time) then THE GREATER TASK OF GENERATING P900,000 is highly possible! Anyone's at any given point in time IS DRIVEN BY THE DESIRE OF BEING PROSPEROUS! Prosperity in its utmost sense is because you become happy with joy! And as human, One's joy is a blessings by making others happy too! Again with at least with your P300, you are contributing to change the world of the typhoon fishermen vitims and eventually making a life of difference both from you as Donors and for the Receiving Families! So if similarly, you are like me! Continuously wanting to have a life of significance and meaning, May I personally knock at the door of your heart to share the blessings (of as low as P300). Imagine how your P300 would make a LIFE OF DIFFERENCE TO OTHERS AND EVEN BE MORE PROSPEROUS YOURSELF!
