It is a fact that strong typhoons do visit the Philipppines during the last quarter of the year. Yoling in 1972 was as devastating if not more so than Ondoy. The only difference was that Metro Manila took the brunt.

Shame on Cebu Pacific! For those affected by the floods of Typhoon Ondoy! – who have to rebook flights be prepared to charged penalties and to those holding discounted tickets be prepared to pay more. Blast this money hungry company to the media and to your friends.

So please, if you can spare anything… old clothes, towels, toothbrushes, blankets, food… anything that would be of help to the flood victims, please do so.

I experienced the flooding first hand… the first time I saw water spurting from the floor of the house (lowest part of the house).. we had to take out water by the bucket for 5 straight hours, otherwise baka maglutangan na yung furniture. You keep praying for the rain to stop but it doesn’t and you get frustrated … but you know you can’t stop hauling water out. Pero wala yun sa kalingkingan ng inabot nung iba nating kababayan. It just breaks my heart to see people still looking for their family members not knowing if they survived. :(

That is miracle marketman! Havent seen those manifestations yet since im limitted viewing it thru satellite news channels only like cnn,bbc and al jazeera which does not give a complete view of the event. Anyway i can view the devastation as tantamount and coping from it will take time. Most of the embassies abroad are doing their best to accumulate emergency funds/donations which haves a very good response since when i visited them this morning, a lot of people are lined to give donations by all means but im sure it will take time before it will reach those people desperately needs help….

Gener, actually several of them did survive. They just interviewed one of them on television. Though I believe 2 of them were killed as they were swept away. The loss of lives and damage to property are immense.
