Good Evening, Today is December 19, 2011 at exactly 11:24pm
Philippines were hit again by flood brought about by the typhoon named Sendong. This time it hit Mindanao area specifically Iligan and Cagayan De Oro (CDO). The Two cities were the most affected killing more than 600 people. The flood hit mid midnight and it didn't spare anyone. Young and adults, all were worst affected by the flood.

Try to picture this out- the flood reached the second floor of the tallest building there. Imagine how struggling could that it be to the people of Iligan and CDO. PAGASA (weather observatory in the Philippines ) said that the rain fall that fell during that night was equivalent to a one month rain, so what do you expect- heavy rainfall that resulting in FLOODING. Certainly, people were not ready for that sad event. No one ever expected it until it happened. It was so fast; the water level rises so quickly that our brothers and sisters could not think properly were to go and sought for help. Though there were rescuers at that time but the greatest enemy was a strong current pushing at them.
Two days after the flood swept Mindanao, the damages brought by sendong are very evident. Sad thing was, lots of lives were lost and we can not change that. It's a natural disaster and there's nothing we can do but to move on.
As a Filipino Citizen we all have the duties and responsibilities to help our brothers and sisters affected by sendong.Reach out and help!
Lets all pray to the Almighty that everything will be okay and safe. Iligan and CDO will rebuild in God's time and in his way.
Most importantly, never underestimate Mother Nature. Take good Care of her or else...
