Find an organization that will accept money. Sending goods not made and sold in the Philippines may hurt the economy of the region even more.If you can’t confirm the legitimacy of any organization’s efforts and wish to send physical goods, consider buying things made and sold from the Philippines, especially from Mindanao.
