John Chow is holding a new contest to give away $6,000 in cash! $5,000 would go to the charity of your choice and $1,000 will go to you to spend however you want.

Well, if I win, I would definitely give the $5K to Bantay Bata, a child welfare program of ABS-CBN Foundation that not only rescues and rehabilitates sick and abused children, but also provides shelter, therapy and quality home care for rescued children until they can be reunited with their families or referred to proper child-caring agencies. Bantay Bata is the most widely supported cause in the Philippines for Filipinos around the world. And as for my $1000, I will just save it for my child’s educational plan.

The contest is being sponsored by XR.com. XR.com is a tiny url service which makes our long URL cut short to at least 10 characters. Well, in my part, this will really help shorten all my referral links (which I find messy). LOL. Besides from that, it is also helpful when you get to post long URL’s on Twitter, Friendster, Facebook, etc.

*The deadline for entry is December 24, 2008. The winner will be drawn on December 27, 2008. For more detailed information, just visit the contest post here. Good luck everyone!
