DISASTER without a name

Is it too late? No, I think it's not.

So for three consecutive days the Philippines faced this 'bagsik ng habagat' / 'hagupit ng habagat' or in english, monsoon and yes, it wasn't even a typhoon. And this disaster killed less than a hundred of Filipinos, some were drowned, some were electrocuted, some were buried alive because of landslides, and some suffered from heart attack. Needless to say how many houses and other properties were destroyed. Philippines was once again in a mess.

But this isn't the first time, as per my experience. Year 2009, Philippines was devastated by typhoon Ondoy, last year we were also quite devastated by typhoon Sendong and now, the country has again been devastated by a natural disaster, however this time, without a name.

As I've said, Philippines was again in a mess, but it also gave us the opportunity to again prove to the world how resilient and optimistic we are.

We showed the world how an ordinary Filipino would risk his own life for the life of others he doesn't even know.

We showed the world how deep our faith in God is.

We showed the world how we could see hope in such tragic things.

We showed the world how we can still manage to smile despite of an ocean of problems we have.

And once again we showed the world what our very own 'bayanihan' really means.
