On December 16, Super typhoon “Odette” made its initial landfall over Siargao Island, Surigao Del Norte bringing torrential rains over Caraga, Central Visayas, Misamis Oriental, Camiguin, Southern Leyte, and Negros Occidental. A total of 927,369 families or 3,599,109 persons were affected by Typhoon Odette in 5,652 Barangays in Regions V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, MIMAROPA, and Caraga.
This typhoon left many families with no home, water, food, and belongings. Millions of people are affected and they need as much help as possible. We believe it’s our responsibility to bring awareness to this cause and reach out to the people that we welcome every day at CBTL.
You can donate to all of our stores nationwide by topping up your purchase. With this, you can help our fellow Filipinos to rise up during this difficult time. All proceeds will be donated to our official partner organizations and to their causes.

The most urgent matter is bringing clean water to the affected areas. We are working with Waves for Water to provide filtered water using their Portable Filtration System.
Proceeds will be allocated to the distribution of clean water, hygiene kits, and canned goods. This will also be used to fund the rebuilding of structures and farms.
We have partnered with them to help bring relief goods, temporary shelter kits, hygiene kits, and kitchen kits to the affected areas.
No words can describe how grateful we are for your help and support for our fellow Filipinos. We can assure you that your donation will go directly to them. We are accepting donations until January 31, 2022.
