PRAY. It's the least thing we could do everyday for the victims, that they may never loose hope in this time of struggle. Let us also pray that every cent donated, may it be in Peso or other currencies be rightfully sent to the recipients, not only in Tacloban but also hard hit areas like Cebu, Palawan, whole province of Leyte, Aklan, Capiz etc. 

Just look at these before and after photos, it's really devastating. :( CLICK HERE

Pepeng in Naga City

Daylight pictures were taken around 12:30 noon time. Night shots around 6:30 as we head towards home from SM, passing by Panganiban Drive

** Once again, more or less Bicol was spared from the rage of Typhoon Parma (Pepeng). Here in Naga City we experienced continuous heavy rains for almost a day which caused suspension of classes last Friday. Office transactions were also suspended especially during Friday afternoon because of the rising flood in the main thoroughfares of the city. There were universities and colleges that extended the suspension of work and classes until Saturday October 3, 2009. Residents near Bicol River (particularly those in Naga) were threatened with the possibility of the water overflowing. High tide was announced to be 4:53pm last Friday which alarmed a lot of people. There were huts and houses with light materials that was reached by the water from the river but thank God the rain stopped.

Music for a Cause: Bicol's Help to Ondoy Victims

I was headed towards home at around 8:30 earlier tonight (September 28, 2009) when I heard a band playing from the stage of the Plaza Quezon. I know for sure that it wasn't Oktoberfest yet and the place was not that crowded. I came from Elias Angeles Street and waiting for my left turn going to Panganiban when I turned my head to see what was going on. Then I saw the sign at the center of the stage as the back draft which states "Hindi Kayo Nag Iisa, Tabang Kang Bicol" along with loads and loads of relief goods in sacks and plastic bags up on the stage. I pulled over, turned on my hazard lights and tried to take a photo even though I was a bit far. This is a must-blog to show that the people of Naga knows how to repay what Metro Manila and other provinces had also done for the city and the whole Bicol in particular. Yes we are far and though we are not celebrities to answer phone calls of people who likes to give pledges and even if we do not have commercial endorsements to give them a ring just to ask for some donations, those who cannot simply give can always give their best donation, prayers.

I got this link from my group in Facebook from my co-louisians. A photo-vid presentation by Bernie Floresca. It was nicely done and it was heart pounding. Check it out.

Videos Description: September 26, 2009. Philippine storm leaves 106 dead and missing. Ketsana (Ondoy) dumped more than a month's worth of rain in just 12 hours on metropolitan Manila and 25 provinces. Please help!
