Another typhoon (ONDOY/KETSANA) hit the Philippines

Typhoon Ondoy made hit the Philippines last Saturday (September 26). It brought heavy rainfalls and flood. Power communication and electricity went down, household residents are forced to stay in their rooftop in order to survive and wait for someone to rescue them, others decided to evacuate to high places.

Some roads are not passable because of the flood. Employees of private companies or government are reportedly stranded and some cause high traffic. Vehicles in some areas were submerged in the water, people died and lots of residents particularly in Ortigas, Marikina and Cainta is still seeking for help as their houses were destroyed by the raging waters.

Our place in Laguna was affected by the typhoon and when i called my brother, he says that the flood was in our house rising up to chest level, appliances were put to 2nd floor but the saddest thing is our big screen tv was not able to put upstairs because they don't have time anymore. I was lucky enough that Im now living in Las Pinas but we are also hit by the typhoon that causes are area to flood-up which is very unusual and first time to happen. We were staying in the 2nd floor of our house until the water subsides. Good thing that we don't have work on Saturday and I was able to help my in-laws in the house.

A state of calamity was declared by the Philippine government affected by the typhoon Ondoy. Let's all help and pray for the safety of others. Our nation were left shocked of what happen in our country.
