I originally wanted to write something about my own typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) experience, but I realized being stranded on the road for more than eight hours is nothing compared to the accounts of other people. I really feel for the people who virtually lost everything and whose lives were endangered. Some of them are my friends. I'm thankful, on the other hand, that I'm blessed to be able to extend assistance.
If there's one good thing that came out of this tragedy is that it brought out the heroism in every Filipino. I'm impressed with the number of people who helped the victims by donating goods or expending their time and efforts. Bayanihan was truly felt by many. Good job, kababayan! Filipinos once again proved to be a dependable race.
We hope to see more of the noble trait in everyday life.
