  1. wow, sana lang talagang mapagkakatiwalaan ang OCD, kung hindi tatamarin ng mageffort mga individual sa pilipinas. Sa walang masira o basta na lang maglalaho sa mga donation, kase alangang bilangin pa un isa isa.

    Mawawalan na ng saysay yung fulfillment ng mga NGO o individual person sa pagbibigay at paglikom ng tulong. (maging masaya pa kaya sila?) o tatamarin na lang.
