They recommend some already on the list:

  Ph Red Cross
  Gawad Kalinga

Phil Red Cross (Probably more direct than other red cross orgs).

Hello - I've been on the board lurking for a while and would like to post in the ripple giveaway thread.
How many posts are necessary before having that privilege?

Edit: Never mind - found it.

Sorry, please ignore.  Need to PM theymos and hoping a test post will give me permissions.

Edit:

That didn't seem to work - is there any way to contact an admin or support for a newbie?
