in my whole 20 years here in the philippines, that was the worst flood i've ever seen, actually it's the first time i've seen every city of manila flooded... the whole community where we lived before basically became like a wasteland... it's such a devastating experience to my relatives, they don't know how they will start all over again...and now, another typhoon is coming right on to our country..it's is said to be much stronger than typhoon katrina who by the way literally destructed new orleans...everyone here is praying that either it will weaken or it will redirect itself...

right now, i'm really proud to be a filipino because amidst of all these trials we're experiencing, everyone is lending their hands to help each other...everyone, rich or poor are helping in packing relief goods, doing medical missions, and also, we as filipinos never forget to smile and think positive...

and lastly as a religious country, may it be as a christian or a muslim, we really do believe that prayer can do miracles...we really have nothing to lean on except our countrymen and God...

i'm very grateful that utadanet members are informed about our situation here, and they're with us filipinos... "honto ni arigato gozaimasu!"

Same here wholesome.

When I went out that night to search for food, what I witnessed is an Apocalypse. My thoughts were "Oh my God! I can't believe this is happening". Because I saw people in the center of the streets, soaked wet due to flood that reaches their waist and they were also searching for food, some who are from work were walking and trying to reach home.

A thing to share, I grinned when an American dweller in the Philippines stated this: "I wish you all could see the amazing community spirit, charity and compassion in the Philippines. What I see happening here totally blows away the response to hurricane Katrina. ......People here have less to give, yet they are giving ABUNDANTLY. There is such a greater story than just the 'death toll' that the lame american media fails to capture."

Thank you for those people who already have sent their donations and prayers. May God be with us always.

Please pray for Indonesia too. I heard in the World News that there are already 1100 confirmed death cases there. Please pray for everybody's safety. Let prayers be an instrument to let God heal this land of ours.
