    I think this is a very good cause. I believe there is power in the ability to read. Literature can change the world.

    Hi Perez! I'm one of your fans from the Philippines and I was thrilled that you posted this on your site. I'm sure it will go a long way in getting people to donate their extra books to Filipino children who are so eager to learn, if only they had the materials and resources they need. Thank you and God bless!

    Thank you, Perez! It so sad that so many talented and smart people are leaving the Philippines. With the celebutards so called ruling Manila, the people that really need the help get left behind.

    hi perez, the moment I saw the kids pictured I knew they look like filipino children and I cant believe that ur popular site would post something to help the children. I am a filipino too, and yes , a lot of kids here are in need of books.. thank u so much perez…. GOD BLESS YOU.

    thanks perez. being a filipino american, it always helps to put the word out there for any minority group. keep doing what you do.. and thanks again.

    I hope that one day I can contribute to my filpino culture as you do for your own heritage. There definitely isn't enough mainstream asians.. and that's a big problem!

    For years the majority of people in the Phillipines despise Americans. Walk down any street and you would be severely beaten or worse. Fuck them!

    Thanks for posting this Perez. Good to see someone on the web with some social responsibility. Books are so much better to give away - you educate a child, you keep the child out of poverty and drugs.

    Muchas gracias! Maraming Salamat! Thanks a bunch.

    Re: Truth – Well then you've obviously NEVER been to the Philippines where the locals' hospitality is the country's trademark to REAL tourists. It's a shame how some people can find even the lamest reasons to taint this wonderful cause.

    you need to give books to people in america because americans are stupid and alot of kids in america can't read or write your country has a bad education system why not donate to inner city kids in america take care of yoru own backward first

    I think this is a good addition to your site. A little bit of money can go so far. Most people who go out when spend an average of $100 per nite. $10-25 herer and there can make a world of difference.

    Lisa - "take care of yoru own backWard first"

    —> Uh yes, you're right. YOU probably need books so you'll learn how to spell and use words properly.
