That works out to about 14¢ per Filipino left homeless (given that there are about 700,000 left homeless after Typhoon Haiyan).
Or in other words: just about enough to buy each of them half-a-can of Coke.
Postscript:
A day-laborer, Bill Gates, and Xi Jinping walk into a bar. Each gets a beer, but each finds his mug has a fly in it.
The workman pours off the fly and drinks the rest. Bill Gates sets his glass aside and buys another.
Meanwhile, Xi Jinping grabs the insect by its wings - violently shaking it while screaming:
"Spit it out! Spit it out!"
[Cheapskate jokes. I love 'em!]
UPDATE (Nov 13, 2013): CNN now reporting that 2 million people in the Philippines require food.
Evidently, the Chinese are either too stupid or heartless to realize that half-a-can of Coke isn't going to make much difference...
