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.

How Do We Stand Up and Get Going After the Typhoons?

Oct 11th 2009Around the Metro & Current Events & Environment & For Information & Philippines & Thoughts

With so much devastation around caused by the two super typhoons that came to wreak havoc to this poor nation of ours, it seems that a lot of businesses (and that includes small businesses, franchises and even agricultural products from the northern Philippines) have been affected severely and will be affected in the days to come.

Yes, we still have to come to grips with what has happened after Ondoy (Ketsana) and now Pepeng came and brought more damage than we can probably imagine.

Lives were lost. Homes, entire villages and physical structures were buried in mudslides and landslides.  Severe damage to crops and properties happened. Roads and bridges are destroyed, damaged and not passable as of this time.

I know, deep in my heart that we will surpass these challenges but as a nation with scarce resources, corrupt officials, and dampened spirits, how can we say that we can right now?

How do we stand up and get going after all these has happened?
