Saturday, 26th September 2009, the day the Philippines was tragically hit by Typhoon Ketsana (local typhoon name Ondoy) which turned National Capital Region (NCR) into sea like state. The water is almost pole high in the areas such as Pasig (the city where I was born and raised), Manila, Antipolo, Marikina, Cainta, Quezon City, Malabon and etc. in some areas houses are swallowed by the horrific flood which left families to stay on roofs, soaked wet, no food to eat and water to drink. Many people are left homeless, properties are destroyed and if not they sadly lost their loved ones awash by uncontrollable water torrent. My heart goes to our fellow kababayans who are terribly affected by the calamity our prayer goes to all of you.
In my entire existence and base on facts, that most areas affected has not been flooded for over 4 decades and Typhoon Ondoy seems to be the worst and had caused huge damages. Even in international news, they have claimed that typhoon Ondoy is much worst than Hurricane Katrina which hit the southern coast of United States of America in August 2005.
We thank god for we’re lucky that our small village in Pasig City was not terribly hit though knee high water is visible.
This typhoon brought us trauma that we’ll never forget but we also have to remember that this calamity gave way to all Filipinos to prove that we are united as 1 during this hard times regardless of our level or status in the society, it only takes a hand to help another hand. It may take us a long time before we recover from the ruins caused by this calamity but with god’s grace things will slowly turn to its right phase.
