details to individuals and\/or organizations soliciting material and\/or financial donations purportedly for victims of disasters in the Philippines.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight:

pocketed or diverted to operations outside of the intended charitable cause.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips to protect yourself from questionable fundraising activities:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not let anyone make you feel pressured or rushed when making a donation.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not give your bank details, credit card number, checking account number and other personal information to someone you do not know or have just met.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the time to research about an organization and its programs, taking into consideration if it is a reputable organization or whether it operates domestically or internationally.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request specific information and seek transparency about how an organization will use your donation. Will it go to your intended recipient or will it mostly be used for administrative and fundraising expenses?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not assume that a fundraising program or charitable organization is legitimate just because an acquaintance posted it on social media.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe that you were duped into giving a donation, immediately call your bank to discuss your options.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note that the Philippine Embassy and the Consulates General in the US are not authorized to solicit donations for victims of Typhoon Odette nor are they responsible for ensuring accountability over donations, especially of a financial nature, given by the public to non-government organizations in the Philippines.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">###<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e41cd7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4e41cd7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public Advisory 006-202219 January 2022 ADVISORY ON DISASTER-RELATED DONATIONS \/ SOLICITATIONS The Philippine Consulate General in New York advises the public to exercise extreme vigilance and caution when donating or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[112,40],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
