Thunder girl Bronte soft huggies for children victims of landslide
Manila
March 31, 2012
 
Emergency response takes on a human face.
 
When the unlikely earthquake of February 6 hit the eastern coast of Negros Oriental, with a Richter intensity of 6.9, it not only up-heaved rivers to race downstream with terrifying power, it also torqued the caked sediments 12 kilometers below the earth’s surface to cause major landslides burying whole towns. Bloke dos in Solonggon (municipality of La Libertad) was one such town.  Heavy earth and mud enveloped all the houses on its hillside and at its foot; 42 people were recorded lost, never to be found alive. Of these, six were school children who went home for lunch that day . . .  and never came back.

The landslide risk was all the more perilous because of rampant logging in some areas, leaving the mountains bare of any mountain cover. Earthquakes of Intensity 6 could easily trigger a major landslide, as happened in Bloke dos.

Marunong tumingin sa pinanggalingan
(Know your roots and how to come back to them)
Manila-January 7,2012
 
Miles away from the main highways and national road, and still more miles into the interior of Pampanga, there is a small barangay called San Simoun. One must traverse the rice fields and paddies of three other barangays to get there. In many ways, it is at the end of the road.  But it is worth the effort, for in the middle of the barangay the elementary school San Nicolas proudly lines the one side of the street.  ...
