Very recently the Philippines was visited by super typhoons Ondoy and Peping, leaving in their wakes undetermined losses in terms of human lives and properties. Obviously- we knew who the culprits are. Pointing an accusing finger at them at this point in time will only add insult to injury. It'll not solve the immediate problem before us today but will only make matter worst. What I can suggest at this point in time is for us Filipinos to rise as one to seek solution to solve the problem. I am therefore inviting all readers- Filipinos and foreign guest alike - to share what's in your mind possible and sound solutions to at least minimize the ill-effects of natural calamities. Your comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Seriously. I think the Earth is trying to heal itself. Natural calamities are its antibodies against the virus called 'humans'.
I'm scared. Will we still thrive and spread like cancer or will the planet take control? We ought to make our peace with the planet we're in and be more respectful of it. Going green is not a bad idea. We should all do our parts.
