In my 24 years in the country, I've never experienced anything like Ondoy. As me mam told me, even she has not experienced anything like this. Not in the Metro.
While I appreciate the help of the media, I don't like their questions insinuating that the government acted late. That is unfair. The government are doing the best they could. But with limited resources, you can't expect everything to be fixed pronto. Besides, you can't expect people to just go through flooded areas. Even rescuers need to observe some degree of safety. They're not like Nelson Asaytono, sugod lang nang sugod--na hindi nag-iisip.
Sympathies to the fallen. Courage to the survivors.
Some announcements:
The Ateneo is mobilizing to help flood victims in Marikina and GK sites. They need ready-to-eat food, clothes, medicine, shovels, and boots for clean up. Volunteers needed. Cash donations also accepted. Please proceed to Cervini Hall to drop off donations and to the MVP Student Center to volunteer.
Red Cross donation through SMS: text RED to 2899 (Globe) or 4483 (Smart). Spread the word and help. Personally verified to be legit.
