Tropical Storm Ondoy (typhoon) (internationally known as Ketsana) has hit Metro Manila today, September 26, 2009. The typhoon brought almost a month-worth of rainfall in Metro Manila for a duration of six hours – the highest recorded rainfall in the area in 42 years. It brought streets of Metro Manila underwater – mostly in waist-deep flood but it was reported to have reached up to five meters in some areas.

GMA for president again!!
i think this is a wake up call for all of us. anything can happen in just a blink of eye. we should realize and embrace the things that we need to give importance in our life. we should know what to prioritize. May GOD be the center of our Lives.
….we can see that filipinos are known for being resiliency,because despite of the crisis that we experienced we still have an ability and find ways in order to survive,… we dont easily give up!and even we face the most tragic days in our lives we still can go up and face the world with a ‘smile”, cause we always put in our mind that “after the storm, comes fair weather”, and always dont forget to pray coz HE will alwayz be there to help and response our prayers….may the Lord God bless you all….!
You might be right Ms. fe. However there is only one person that we could blame in this crisis. The president itself. If she can just look after on all the areas that needs attention this would probably happen, especially in manila, rather than spending the budget in a twaddle restaurant along with her partner in crimes….

Hi there, I just now wished to start by saying that the contribution in this case is simply amazing. I do believe everyone does a fine job here and decided to make that known. Maybe you have seriously considered blogging for money? there does exist a webpage http://www.christian-love.net/ that pays you to write articles, you would be good at it.
