Prioritizing

Oct 11th 2009Around the Metro & Thoughts

A friend of a friend has canceled her trip abroad in lieu of the recent ill effects that the typhoons brought upon this country.

Her children were a bit disappointed because they will not be able to go on their Disney World vacations but they understand for they know how bad the situation is nowadays. At least they know they can still go there at another time and what matters most at this time is pouring their resources on people, loved ones who need their help.

Yes, times like these, we need to prioritize the more important issues we have on our plates.

Aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy

Sep 29th 2009Around the Metro & Current Events & Philippines

So many lives lost, homes destroyed, families displaced and so much more damage was caused by Typhoon Ondoy, which can be likened to Hurricane Katrina and it seems it dumped more rain than Katrina.

Yes, it is the worst flood according to the weather bureau PAGASA.

Now the cleaning up operations is on the way, in some areas where the flood water receded.

If only it were as easy as doing motorhome towing but these homes that were destroyed need more than towing. These homes need rebuilding.

In some areas, bodies are still being retrieved, lifeless ones. There are fires, oil spill and incidence of looting. This is so sad, so depressing, amidst the swelling outpouring of help, volunteerism and charitable work.

For donations, several companies are opening their branches like McDonald’s and gasoline stations.
