On Sunday, December 8th 2013, Catholic Bishops' Conference from Romania organized in all Catholic churches in the country a collection to help typhoon victims in the Philippines.

Catholic Parishes and Caritas organizations in the Philippines have been with the people affected by this event since the first moments of the disaster. Caritas teams from several countries have arrived in the Philippines to support the local Caritas. So far, they have managed to distribute food packages to over 68,000 families.
