It was only 8 in the morning but the sky was so dark, as if I'm in some horror movie then typhoon Ondoy brought his wrath on that dreadful day Sept 26. It started raining by 8:30 non-stop till 3am the next day. You will see here, pictures taken by my brother Benjie and my niece Bianca from the 3rd floor of our house. It was really scary. The water started rising by 10am and it reached to 15 feet imagine 15 feet !!!! It was unbelievable and unimaginable, totally incomprehensible. Gracia a Dios the water stopped there. It was like in the bible Noah's Ark.
THANKS TO THE ILLEGAL LOGGERS AND TO THE RICH LAND DEVELOPERS .... THERE'S NO MORE TREES TO HOLD THE SOIL ...... NO URBAN PLANNING , JUST GET RICH QUICK PLAN..... PEOPLE THROW THEIR GARBAGES IN THE RIVER (F.Y.I. RIVERS ARE ALIVE , WE ARE KILLING THEM) ...... POLITICIANS ARE LETTING PEOPLE LIVE NEAR ESTEROS BECAUSE THEY USE THEM FOR THEIR ADVANTAGE (esp this coming election) IT'S NOT ONLY AN EYESORE ...... THEIR HEALTH IS AT RISK WHILE THE ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE 2 OR MORE BIG HOUSES BUTI THEY CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT..... HERE'S THE RESULT OF OUR ABUSES TO MOTHER EARTH ............ WE REAPED WHAT WE SOW!
In this time of calamity, i witnessed the true color of filipinos. It was a sad day alright but that moment the true nature of filipinos shine through. Our culture, the BAYANIHAN is alive and well here. Flood was a great equalizer. That day brought the rich and the poor in equal planes ..... but everybody helped each other. We showed the world the meaning of love. Now it's a new beginning .... THE START OF THE GREEN REVOLUTION (DI BA DENR SEC LITO ATIENZA ? PLEASE PLANT MORE TREES ) .... I LIKE MR LITO ATIENZA FOR MANILA BECAUSE HE BELIEVES ..... BUHAYIN ULI ANG MAYNILA !!!!!
