Pray for the Philippines

As I was typing this message, the heavy rains brought by the heightened Southwest Monsoon continues to hammer many places over the Metro and nearby provinces.  Thousands of families were already affected and those who are living near the rivers and flood prone areas were forcefully evacuated.  Oh God, please stop the rain. We already had enough. I do hope this won't turn into another Ondoy like tragedy. Is history repeating itself again?

I was also glad that despite the continues downpour of rain yesterday, our area here where our house stood in our Barangay were spared from flooding. Although, as you may all know right now, many places here in San Mateo, Rizal were submerged into flood waters at the height of the heavy raining yesterday. Our neighboring town, Marikina City, specially those who are in the low lying areas were also heavily flooded yesterday.

There is always sunshine after the rain. Don't lose hope and always pray. 

Kapit Bisig mga Pinoys!!!

Here are some ways on how you can help our Kababayans who were affected by this inclement weather.
