A brand new day... to live (Typhoon Ondoy tragedy update)

As of this writing all the people who have been trapped and stranded is now safe. Some are in evacuation centers and some are just staying with their friends or relatives house.

Right now, 90 % of the people in the Manila region (NCR) is now starting to rebuild their houses or get somethings that they can still use after the tragedy. But watching how deep is the mud in streets and inside their houses, it would be just a miracle to get useful things again.

Until now authorities are still recovering numbers of dead people. Some are still looking for their relatives, who have been separated from them during the strong flash flood.

As of now..

Classes in some cities and provinces are now suspended until Friday.
No electricity in all the cities who have been heavily affected by the typhoon.

Psalm 9:9
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

ONDOY: The power of Nature.

Yesterday after 24 hours of raining, a city becomes a sea of water. Nature proves how powerful he is when he strikes back. Thousands of people where stranded and trapped in the roof of their house. Children, old people, people who are sick and pregnant women badly needs food and water after staying the whole day at the top of their house.

Even celebrities were trapped in their house, Christine Reyes, Jennica Garcia, Gladys Reyes and Carmina Villaroel are some of those who ask help. Christine was saved by her friend Richard Gutierrez, Jennica was saved about 1 am in the morning, Gladys was rescued by her friends Judy Anne Santos and her husband Ryan Agoncillo. Carmina Villaroel as of now where still trapped in their house.

Numbers of dead people is now being carried after the flood subside. Mainly they died of drowning after being washed out by a strong current of water. The most affected areas are Rizal, Marikina, Pasig and Cainta.

The bright side of this disaster is everyone where really doing their best to help all the people who are trapped and stranded. Specially those big commercial companies, famous local celebrities, the government officials, soldiers and even just ordinary people. The Kapamilya ABS-CBN Network and the GMA 7 Kapuso Network is now collecting cash and pledges to help. The two big networks are now giving relief goods, food, medicine, and clothes.

Right now my prayers goes for those who have losts their love ones and for those who are still looking for their families and relatives.
