Just two days ago, our country experienced one of the most devastating storms, Typhoon Ondoy. Metro Manila was the hardest hit, suffering flash floods, specifically in the areas of Pasig, Rizal, Manila, and Paranaque and other nearby areas. Floods were simultaneous, burying different areas in flood waters that were as high as houses in as fast as a few minutes. People panicked, due to the strong current and fast onslaught of flood water. They had to climb the roofs and waited hours for rescue to come. Rescue was very slow due to the difficulty in reaching the areas.
Some even died because they were either swept by the flood or drowned. There were even those who died rescuing others.
We appeal to all those who have the means to please help by donating to the foundations helping the typhoon victims. They are accepting donations in cash and in kind. People are in dire need of clothing, food, water, blankets, etc. Tune in to the Philippine news channels like ABS-CBN News and GMA-7 News on how you can send help and for updates.
