A Friend Volunteer's Ondoy Story
-----
Nagpunta kami mismo dun sa lugar na nasalanta ng bagyo, malapit na sa may ilog. Nung papasok na kami sa lugar, nakakatakot kasi parang ramdam mo kung anu yung nangyari dun. Tapos wala pang ilaw.
-----
Kami mismo yung namigay ng food. Nakakaawa sila lalu na yung mga bata. Saka yung mga lolo at lola. Tapos yung isang lalaki nagtatanong sya kung may dala kaming damit, e food lang dala namin.
-----
Konti lang naman kami kahapon (na nagvolunteer). Mga 12 lang.

It was a company-sponsored donation event. Their Sales Department decided to bring cooked food for dinner consisting of chicken pork adobo, spaghetti, rice and mineral water to the affected families of Typhoon Ondoy. The volunteer givers went home as happy as the recipients, if not happier.

Pero sa bukana lang kami. Kasi kung nagpunta kami sa mas mababa pa sa may ilog na talaga, hanggang tuhod pa daw yung putik. Tapos nung naglalakad na kami pabalik ng munisipyo, Yung mga tao doon na nadaanan namin, nagte-thank you sila. :-)
Bali wala lahat yung pagod.

Super Typhoon Pepeng Approaching the Philippines
We haven't even recovered yet and we're expecting a Category 5. Oh my. Brace yourself for this one man, stock up on food and necessities and let's all hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteLots of sad stories over the last 5-6 days, hope this typhoon will not make its way to manila/luzon (at least)so it wont make the situation worst for our countrymen......
ReplyDeletebtw. hey jayson, thanks for dropping by my blogsite, and for including my link on your blogroll. i will include yours in my blogroll as well.. :-)
It's good to hear that Pepeng won't hit Metro Manila directly. Nonetheless, we should still be prepared as what Luis said.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sir Junrox. I truly appreciate it. :)
