Ondoy’s Trail of Fury
Posted on | September 27, 2009 | 1 Comment
Yesterday, my mom called to let me know that because of a recent typhoon, our house in the Philippines got flooded. She was worried because she’s still in New York visiting my brother and the only person taking care of the house was her house maid. She was feeling helpless.
It wasn’t until my friend Rhea called that I realized how bad that typhoon hit my native country …
“On September 26, Manila and its neighboring provinces suffered one of nature’s worst beating. Typhoon Ondoy, international code name Ketsana, poured more than a month’s worth of rain in six hours, submerging most parts of the bustling metropolis, drowning at least a hundred people as of press time. My prayers to the victims, and may we emerge victorious and live by the lessons of this tragedy. (Photos by Reuters, Music: “Heaven On Earth” by Nicole Pasternak)” – From Glenn Omanio
My prayers to the victims as well, especially to my friends and family. I do hope the Filipinos emerge victorious.

it is very unfortunate for our Filipino brothers to be hit by typhoon Ondoy. i have seen the massive flooding and the flood victims on TV and it is really horrible.
