[b][/b]dear friends, it has been a while since "typhoon sendong" visited part of mindanao, the island where i live. it was not a full blown typhoon, the pag-asa says, yet if you see the videos that were uploaded, you will see the devastation it has made. it has almost wiped out the city of cagayan de oro and iligan city. nearing 2 thousand have perished in just one single night. flood cascading from the mountains and it all fell in the cities mentioned. properties, houses, and people were washed out to the sea. so many women, children and elders drowned. i have been sending messages to our mylot friend here, the menace whom i knew lived somewhere in that part of mindanao and it has been 2 months since that i have not seen him go online. let's pray that he is find and his family. donations poured in but i see some of these donations are still kept somewhere and i wonder why they are not giving it all to the people now where it is most needed. europe have given tents which the people need very much. our office and other local offices have sent food items and blankets and rice thru lbc's foundation and we know these will reach the people in need. so many good hearted samaritans have given their share as well. cant we be ready for calamities? are we always going to suffer losses such as these during typhoons? is this how God punishes the people for abusing nature? how awful! ann
