I was about to leave last Saturday morning when I noticed that the rains has not stopped since the night before. Luckily, I trusted my intuition and followed the small voice that I should not leave house since there was a storm as predicted by the local weather bureau.
Shortly while I was blogging, there was flood in front of the street trying to enter our house! It was unimaginable as we live in a mountainous part of the east of Metro Manila! We hurriedly moved our things that might get wet and I was right! Water was getting inside our house as we all panicked.
From our living room down to the basement ( our place is situated on a slope) where my brother's room is.
These are just 2 of the pictures I took. Thank God my Family is safe!
Hollywood stars called on their fellow Americans to help the victims of tropical storm Ondoy (international codename Ketsana) in the Philippines as they expressed their sympathies to the thousands of Filipinos affected . Hollywood star Demi Moore wrote in her Twitter account that the Filipino victims are in dire need of assistance. To help, she urged them to call the American Red Cross.
“Typhoon victims in Philippines in dire need of food/clothing. Call the American Red Cross to help. 18004357669,” the multi-awarded star wrote.
Alyssa Milano tweeted the same message and posted an Associated Press article reporting the devastation caused by Ondoy.
International singer Josh Groban , meanwhile, tweeted: “My heart goes out to my friends in the Philippines.”
TV Networks ABS-CBN and GMA 7 gathered their popular stars and worked overtime through a tele-marathon and gave time (and money from their endorsements) in raising money and all sorts of donation for the victims.
The United States embassy has donated $50,000 for the flood victims caused by incessant rains of typhoon Ondoy. The message came from Rebecca Thompson of the public affairs office of the US embassy in Manila said Ambassador Kristie Kenney has called Philippine National Red Cross to offer the money for immediate disaster relief.
The money is coursed through the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance of US Agency for International Development.
Thompson also said embassy officials are in touch with officials of the National Disaster Coordinating Council to determine what other assistance the US may offer.
To the people and countries who continue to pour in their help, we thank you very much!
The Chinese government was one of the first countries who were generous to donate to Ondoy typhoon victims and they pledged $10,000 to victims of a devastating tropical storm that killed almost 100 people and displaced hundreds of thousands according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Liu Jianchao said the fund will be channeled to the Philippine National Red Cross.
Up to this day, rescue operations started on Sunday as the storm left the country. Hundreds were believed to remain stranded in half-submerged villages and towns near the national capital region. Yours truly was lucky enough that I did not leave the house that day or I am in deep trouble. Thank God!
The Government of Singapore will send humanitarian relief supplies worth $30,000 to the typhoon-hit Philippines. The statement came from Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs this Monday, the government will also contribute $20,000 as seed money to kick-start the Singapore Red Cross's drive for donations for those affected by the disaster.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has sent a condolence letter to President Arroyo expressing heartfelt sympathies on behalf of the people and government of Singapore for the loss of life and destruction caused by Tropical Storm“Ondoy” (international name Ketsana).
