Typhoon Tale
Everyone has a typhoon story but mine is'nt really worth telling. When Typhoon Ondoy hit Manila, I was safe, dry and even in a condition of luxury. I went home late that night, unprepared for what I would find via Facebook. A big part of Metro Manila was submerged in flood water. Almost everyone on my feed where either calling for help, soliciting supply donations, or coordinating rescue and relief operations. Someone from work had to be rescued while she floated in a kiddie pool. People I personally knew where missing and could not be reached. There are countless other stories, some of it we already know, and most would remain untold. As I write this, some flooded areas of Metro Manila have not yet subsided, Northern Luzon was ravaged by another typhoon, and there are still people out there without adequate food supply and shelter. Find out how you can help.
