One Sun, Three Stars

For more than two days now, my country, Philippines is experiencing another disaster where 90% of Metro Manila area and other provinces nearby were flooded and still experiencing floods as of this very moment. These floods are not from a typhoon but according to PAG-ASA DOST it is caused by Monsoon rains. Here are some pictures of the flooded areas in MM.

disclaimer: pictures aren't mine. I got them from facebook.

University of Sto. Tomas

UST Hospital almost reaching the 2nd floor

Somewhere in Makati

Amidst all these, Filipinos can still manage to be resilient

Always ready to extend help to those in need of it.

Witty people.

I have learned so much from this. I appreciate how Filipinos work together and show optimism despite of. I hope we understand that it's not because of God's wrath that Philippines suffer this much. It's not that we, Filipinos are too sinful that He used floods to punish us. God is out for our good. I hope that through this unnamed habagat, we were able to learn something. I hope we learn to dispose wastes properly, plant more trees, stop illegal logging and start trusting that by God's Grace we will be able to rise up again. Stay proactive and resilient, Philippines. I am proud :)
