Viva la People Power Revolution-3!
The Philippines, was devastated by Typhoon Ondoy (also known as Ketsana), which killed hundreds of people, submerged entire cities, and left millions of Filipino countrymen homeless. They need all the help they can get. Relief & rescue operations are being carried out by the more fortunate Filipinos who were unharmed by the typhoon alongside other organizations because the government is corrupt, flawed, and will not be helpful nor useful at all.
If you are living in the U.S. & wish to help in the Ondoy Typhoon Relief Effort, one option is to call the American Red Cross at 1-800-435-7669. Please choose the 3rd option (International Donation), tell the operator that your donation is for the Ondoy (Ketsana) typhoon victims in the Philippines.
Additionally, Filipina bloggess, moongirl, has put together a helpful list of World-Wide organizations for those around the world who also wish to help. The list is vast.
The Philippine National Red Cross is one of the major organisations providing aid to those affected by the floods. Wherever you are in the world, you can send your donations to them through this online donations form. Choose “Typhoon Ondoy” in the Project/Activity drop down selection. 
Since you can send donations using Philippine Pesos, just a few Australian, Canadian, or US Dollars can go a long way. AU$1, for example, is approximately 40 PHP. And, US$1 is about 47 PHP. So, just a gift of $5 can make a bit of difference.
PNRC’s online donation system allows you to send a donation using your credit card.
