After the storm

Thank God, Manila was not hit by typhoon Pepeng except for some rainshowers and strong winds here and there.  I hope my relatives in the Ilocos province were not badly affected. I pray for help for those in the Zambales area and Tuguegarao. 
Well, let this be a lesson to Filipinoes, most specially those in government agencies.  We are all aware that typhoons and the like never fail to come year after year.  Let us all be ready for eventualities such as this. I think God and Mother Nature gave us a wake up call.  It is the people's fault that we are flooded. Why? because some settlers have made mountain and riversides into subdivisions. Trees were removed, mountain sides carved, rivers destroyed.  Doesn't these changes affect the environment, it weakens the land structure, and without trees, what will absorb the rainfall? where will the water flow if the riversides are filled with houses and garbage.
Let us leave them as how God created them. Nature is there for us, let us protect it instead of making money out of it.
Oh well, it's just my point of view.
