I was actually not alarmed when I
heard the news that another typhoon, I mean super typhoon will hit the Philippine
land again; typhoon named Pedring has a power less than the typhoon ondoy two
years ago, but it seems to be considered as the worst typhoon happened in the
country.
It has been two years since the
disaster brought by ondoy happened and now the history seems to repeat itself
unknowingly and by this time it is worst especially in my own province:
bulacan.
The province of bulacan was under
the signal number 2 courtesy of PAGASA the country’s weather forecast agency
and because of that every classes are suspended for the safety of the children
due to the strong winds that the typhoon could bring, well yes.. last Tuesday,
Spetember 27, 2011 the wind was strikingly strong with heavy rainfall (but not
as heavy and continous as ondoy) and in just a snap, most of the provinces in
Central and Northern Luzon were damaged with floods, fallen trees and so on and
so forth in addition to that, due to the heavy rain, different damns withdraw
such huge amount of water which worsen the condition especially in Pampanga,
Calumpit and Hagonoy Bulacan.
Until now, the said
municipalities are still under massive flood and they can’t do anything with
it. even evacuation areas were damaged by the typhoon and rescuers can only
help them by providing such food and drinks and something they might need
because they don’t have any other choice although some of them took the risk of
being rescued and go somewhere even leaving their things and furniture won’t
mind, what matter is their lives and safety.
Well, in fact… I do know that
people are aware of what happened two years ago where ondoy devastated metro manila
and central Luzon, but the thing is that: if it meant to be that way, you can’t
do anything but trying to survive. They are prepared but with the sturdy upshot
of the typhoon, they are all knocked down.
Let us help victim by praying for
their safety as that will be the best helpful thing we can offer. Let us also
pray for the rescuers for their endurance to keep on rescuing at least all of
the victims of the typhoon. Let us not blame one another, let us all cooperate to
resolve the matter. They all need us, much more as a new super typhoon will hit
the country again, let us pray for the victims to be safe, brave and had a
appropriate attention or be rescued.
