Bayahihan Spirit!

Saturday, September 27, i woke up very early with the unbelievable coldness in the air, Well i dont think of anything, though news were saying of the tropical storm ondoy (international name;:Ketsana), weather in our place is just cloudy with some raindrops from time to time. I was enjoying my time browsing during my shift without knowing that the storm was a bit serious. I am talking to a friend over the net when she suddenly ended the converstaion, "gabaha na di sa office", she said to me and bid her goodbye! I tried to research the whetear and its just saying that threir palce belongs to signal number2. They never expected this storm to be that serious, even me thought that storm would be just an ordinary storm that will just come and go. Saturday when i went home, I opened the TV and watch for the updates of the storm. As i watch the shows that i usually watched on weekends, the host was not able to make it to the show, as they said, they are all stranded. New brigade and news maranthon was very vissible, giving updates for the storm. I was shocked when news said, that the water in some areas was rooftop high, people are needed to be evacuate in higher places. Rich and poor are the victims of the storm. Some loose their stuff, some loose! their cars, their houses but some loose their lives. Unbelievable but true, The storm gave off a rain that was good for a month.

The following day, Its nice to see that a lot of organization started a relief and retrieval operation for the victims of the tropical storm Ondoy. The Bayanihan spirit once again uttered in every heart of every filipino. Helping hands were put together. And as i write this entry our office is doing its own share, giving our personal help to our friends who are deeplu devastated by the tropical storm. Its so sad that some of our brothers and sister lost everything. They need to start from scratch, I noted one of the victims said in an interview in TV patrol." Isipin na lang daw namin na bagong kasal kami" That's the real pinoy blood, pinoy can hide the emotion and can stay strong!


P.S
Lets pray for the soul of those who died in the storm and for the victims lets pray to give them strenght to overcome this. Lets do our share, lets help them in all our means!
