Until now typhoon, Ondoy is hitting Metro Manila and its nearby provinces. Rain is non-stop for the past 24 hours.
Earlier, we were surprised to wake up that most of our neighbors; particularly those that live on a lower ground were already drifting on floodwaters. The first thing we do is to secure our things just in case floodwaters will come inside our basement. Oliver also had to check our car, and had it transferred to a higher area. Right after, we had a quick brunch and watched the latest news on TV. Good thing that the electric power was still running so I was able to get online the whole day.
The rainfall brought by Ondoy had left many Metro Manila residents homeless tonight. How can someone get to sleep when his bed floats or his pillow does? As this happens today, I totally agree with Tim Tayag’s post on FB this afternoon that “we need to start cleaning our environment and plant trees”.
For now let us all be compliant to NDCC chief as he urges the public not to go out and stay home, don’t clog the roads. Let us all pray that the rain will stop pretty soon.
the aftermath is unbearable.
ReplyDeleteit will take time to rehabilitate.
i think it's high time that all of us should learn lessons from nature. remember it wasn't raining when Noah built his ark.
...stay safe and let's continue to pray for those terribly afflicted.
I commend our company yesterday for doing a quick action to our co-worker who was severely affected by Ondoy. They were able to visit them and brought them food, clothes and cash. I am happy that nobody was hurt physically, and that they can move on with those little help.
