MEXICAN Grade Five Pupil- Alejandro Luna Flores donated his entire savings amounting to 410 Mexican pesos or approximately P 2,451 in Philippine Pesos contained in his piggy bank to Filipino children victims of typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma)

Flores - together with his parents who are both lawyers and his 6-month old brother - called on Philippine Ambassador to Mexico, Alejandro Ortigas III "to express sympathy for the victims of typhoons 'Ondoy' and 'Pepeng' and to hand over his donation" The Department of Foreign Affairs stated that young Flores had developed an interest about the Philippines and started collecting items including Philippine 2-peso bills.

In his letter to the Ambassador- Flores expressed his interest in Philippine History. He said that the chocolate hills in Bohol are among his favorite destinations. He hopes to pay the Philippines a visit someday.

Ambassador Ortigas disclosed his intention to request a friend who's connected with a chocolate and cookies business "to match 100 times Flores' donation so it can benefit more Filipino children"

Aside from his donation, Flores- the young Mexican typhoon donor- presented a rooster art work in blown glass. His dad explained the rooster symbolizes the cockfighting influence of the Philippines to Mexico.  In return- Ambassador Ortigas handed Flores a Philippine Table Flag and other mementos.
