A Collaboration For A Cause - Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda

Super Typhoon Haiyan -- one of the strongest storms recorded on the planet -- smashed into our Country,Philippines on Friday morning.



The storm brought tremendously powerful winds roaring ashore as it made landfall in the province of Eastern Visayas.

With sustained winds of 315 kph (195 mph) and gusts as strong as 380 kph (235 mph), Haiyan was probably the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land anywhere in the world in recorded history. It will take further analysis after the storm passes to establish whether it is a record.

Our Country faced a long, grim path to recovery in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.

No electricity. No food. No water. Houses and buildings leveled. Bodies scattered on the streets. Hospitals overrun with patients. Medical supplies running out.

Because of the this calamity we are facing, I have the chance to do a collaborative cause with one of my friends from Cebu City, Philippines.

When Jess Boquiren of Venom III asked me to do a shirt design for a cause, I didnt think twice on doing it. In fact, im more excited to do this.

 Im not a rich kid neither have a lot of stuffs to give. I have a high debts to pay but with this, I know I can help with the talent and skills given to me by our Lord.


When Jess give me the details to work with. She only wants a text design with the quote of "We the Strong. We the Survivor. One Filipino". I just thought that it is too simple. Since this is a "Shirt for a Cause", it sink out in my mind that this piece needs some artwork in it so that it will sell out fast. Since the survivors needs some encouragement and heart to push, I decided to add a heart with wings. The Heart symbolizes Love. The Wings symbolizes Uplifting. The Halo symbolizes Guidance from Above. I combine all of the elements with one design and it came out great.






The shirt cost only P250 [ $5 ] in order to make it affordable. All the proceeds will be converted to goods like noodles, water, food, rice and anything that can help the victims. With this Collaborative For A Cause it really feels good. You buy a shirt, you just help the victims. Isnt it nice ?

We really need your help guys. With this small effort, we can make a great chance of saving them.
