Some rough and tragic weather this past weeks. Three weeks ago when a typhoon caused unexpected flooding in the whole metro manila that caused deaths and losses of to many lives. A week after another typhoon hit the Philippines and affected the Northern provinces that again caused many towns to be submerged in water and major landslides that took hundreds of lives.. Sad isnt it but true my friends.. Please help us pray that we can recover soon from this terrible disaster. We lost alot during this tragedy not just people but our economy as well..=( thanks and godbless.=(

I hope that this is a wake up call for us Filipinos to take care of our environment if we don't want a repeat of these tragedies. It's time that we stop throwing garbage everywhere and time to put recycling at heart. In this twin tragedies I am glad that the spirit of giving shone among us.

Looks like we just got hit by this two typhoons and our island got submerged from floods in just a few days of non stop rains. I guess it is a wake up call for everybody that anything can happen when we don't take care of our environment. I think this is just one of the few things that may happen in the future. Recovering is a slow and painful process we have to undergo as even the National Capital Region is having difficulty in establishing normalcy in our daily lives. We are supposed to be the central source of strength of the whole nation but still we lay helpless to many of our countrymen in and outside of NCR. Although help is coming from many different sectors but it seems that there are places that are just too difficult to reach. I pray too that we can recover back to our normal lives. I too was hit by the flash flood but was fortunate to not hit by it badly. I am thankful that despite we got submerge the flood went away as fast as it arrived so damage was not really that bad.

Hi there. Really it was a very tregic accident. I watched it in tv which made me sad. I asked my mylotter friends about their conditions and as far i am reported all are well. I never forget that sunami flowed over srilanka and south india which destroyed thousands of families few years ago. We are still being victimised of flood yearly. I dont know how to control these but hope we all will get rid of very soon. With this hope= shibham from india, take care. Lol
