WBA interim-super flyweight champion Nonito Donaire has come to the aid of victims who were affected by tropical storm “Ondoy." He joins the efforts of pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao. Donaire has donated a cash prize of P1-million to the victims of the storm.

He recently received the prize from Philippines' President Arroyo for the title winning effort over Rafael Concepcion of Panama. He received consent on Thursday to donate the entire amount. Donaire wants to start a housing project for the thousands of victims who were left homeless.

"They have to rebuild," Donaire told GMA News.

Donaire plans to work with the AHON Foundaation and the GMA Artist Center to effectively use the money in the best way possible. Pacquiao has also donated P1-million. Manny plans to take a break from his Baguio City training camp, where he prepares for the November bout with Miguel Cotto, to personally distribute relief goods to victims in Manila
