U.S. author Mitch Albom is not a Filipino, but we might as well be proud of him for spearheading the drive to rebuild 10 libraries in Tacloban, a central Philippine city ravaged by Typhoon Haiyan in November.
National Book Store Foundation, his Philippine partner in the project, said on 25 February 2014 that Albom has pledged to raise US$ 160,000, starting with his own contribution of US$ 10,000 for the libraries.
