dear mr. flores,
may these photos help so that our countrymen in The Netherlands will be able to see how it was here in metro manila last saturday...
i know the people in The Netherlands are familiar with the high tide of the sea... it was good, the high tide happened earlier of saturday morning and did not coincide with the heavy rains and winds before lunch.
these photos came from my nephew, a U.P. junior student in Industrial Pharmacy...
hoping for your prayer and assistance to our countrymen...
May the blessings and intercession of San Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino Saint, be with you... it is his feast day today.
God bless!!!
According to international media they called this an Epic Disaster, The Katrina of Philippines.

One of the many proofs that there is no one exceptional when the fury of Mother Nature hits. For those who do not know, Christine Reyes is a known Filipina actress who has starred the reality TV show Starstruck. She is best known on television shows such as Banana Split, Kahit Isang Saglit and Eva Fonda. In the picture, the actress is stranded in her home and she ended up staying on the roof. It took a while before she was rescued.

The Wrath of Ondoy

Ondoy may have ruined a lot of things but not the Filipino spirit. Camaraderie and bayanihan were palpable in the direst of times. Strangers helping strangers. Strangers becoming brothers. It is the most beautiful human experience brought about by the ugliest disaster. This is the silver lining in this catastrophe – compassion and generosity exist even in a poor nation that was devastated even more.
Let us keep helping our brothers and sisters. Let us keep saving and rebuilding lives. Bawat Pilipino ay bayani. Makakabangon rin tayo, Pilipinas.
