It quickly became one of the costliest and most devastating typhoons in the country, incurring ₱51.8 billion in damages, right after 2013’s Typhoon Yolanda.</p><div><br/></div><p>As a response to the catastrophe brought about by Odette, the <strong>ABS-CBN Foundation</strong> immediately went to work, raising funds and money through various means. ABS-CBN also started the <strong>Isang Daan Sa Pagtutulungan</strong> campaign last January. </p><div><br/></div><p>A 100-day fundraiser with activities led by Kapamilya programs, artists, and other personalities to help ABS-CBN Foundation’s Operation Odette, the fundraiser made some strides, but there are still families who need assistance, especially those whose homes were destroyed by the typhoon. With no homes to return to, a lot of them still live in evacuation centers.</p><div><br/></div><p>To further raise funds for home repair kits, <strong>Metro</strong>, in partnership with <strong>Vantage, Inc.</strong>, is holding the <strong>Metro Benefit Sale</strong>, a fundraising event for ABS-CBN Foundation’s Operation Odette. The initiative comprises of 8 days of online shopping for a cause, where exclusive and limited offers from a curated list of products, services, and experiences from partner brands will be available. </p><div> </div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/a19c2ff6-8d98-45db-aa2c-7e5ac4da8941_garden villa bedroom.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Photo: The Farm at San Benito"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Fancy a healing weekend at The Farm at San Benito? <span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Photo: The Farm at San Benito  </em></span></span></span></span></div><p>Some partner merchants that shoppers can expect are <strong>Salcedo Private View </strong>(you can acquire a <strong>Betsy Westendorp </strong>for your collection); <strong>Art Lounge Manila </strong>(always been dreaming of your very own <strong>Herbert Pajarito</strong>?); <strong>Rajo Laurel </strong>(a gift certificate for the wedding gown of your dreams); <strong>Vania Romoff </strong>(vouchers); <strong>Ogawa </strong>(the currently out-of-stock-everywhere <strong>Mobile Seat XE Mini</strong>); <strong>Philux</strong> (the beautiful <strong>Jessica Armchair</strong> in Walnut); <strong>Ride Revolution </strong>(access to In-Studio Ride Classes); <strong>New Lounge </strong>(vouchers for mani-pedis, or lash extensions); <strong>Solaire </strong>(dinner for 2 at <strong>Finestra </strong>and a three-day/two-night stay at the Premiere Suite); <strong>Antonio’s </strong>(more vouchers); <strong>Shangri-La Boracay </strong>(a four-day/three-night stay at the <strong>Treehouse Villa</strong>); and more.<br/></p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2984cd7e-f07f-4613-aa67-c738c02f9b07_screenshot_20220322-105846_instagram.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The exciting offers range from vouchers you can use at New Lounge for eyelash extensions or mani-pedis, to restorative classes with Atma Prema Wellbeing Group!
