CEBU, Philippines: Turning technology into a tool for bayanihan (a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective), Cebu-based student developers have launched a real-time web application designed to connect earthquake victims with volunteers, donors and rescuers in areas hardest hit by the recent magnitude 6.9 quake in northern Cebu.
The interactive app allows users to pin the exact locations of families in need and specify urgent relief requirements such as food, water, medicine, shelter and other essentials.
