The Big Catastrophe

GOD PLEASE SAVE OUR COUNTRY

  Ondoy what have you done!!

This was a record breaker.. I have been residing in Manila for 23 years but I never experience a typhoon as harsh as Ondoy (Ketsana). I have been hearing news that this typhoon is a ground-breaker, after 42 years, Manila submerged and became a sunken city.

Got this through the internet
 Flood victims rescued in Pasig City. This is a horrifying and traumatic experience for the people who almost did’nt make it through the waist-deep flood waters.

Received tis from a friend

Vicitims crossing over the electric wires, struggling to survive.

  This is a photo of us taken in the Metro. We got stranded, wet from head to toe, waited for several hours in the street but there was no public vehicle to bring us home. We encourage ourselves to calm down from the traumatic experience we had during that time. We called our family back home to make sure that they are safe, luckily they were since our area are not that affected by the floodings. We decided to go back to our office to spend the night there. I really thanked God that I was lucky enough to survive this calamity. There is so much to be thankful for. My family is safe, my friends are safe. We just have to pick up the pieces and move on from this nightmare.

After seeing these photos, I told myself: Now we know how severe and vengeful mother nature could be….
