I bet you all must heard of the typhoon happening in Philippine right? The worst place happened in my stepmother's 'kampung' - Bicol. It's a very nice place as I went there before. I feel terrible for things that happen to that place recently. Luckily, my stepmom's side doesn't affect much as the place is quite far from Mayon Mount but it is not very lucky for my maid's 'kampung'. Her house ruined till all the member of her family have to stay in a shelter.Here, I quoted the news from Global Disaster Watch
More than a week after the past super typhoon emergency struck the Philippines, authorities are still struggling to comprehend the full scale of the destruction. Initially focused on the sudden havoc caused by the combination of 466 millimeters of rainfall, 225 kph winds and FREAK mud and lava falls which likely killed over 1000 people in the space of a few hours near Mayon volcano, relief teams have now begun to look across the wide swath of devastation in Albay, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes and Marinduque provinces.
The damage defies belief. 2,436 schools in Regions 5, 4B and 4A have been completely or partially destroyed, with a cost of repair estimated at US$40,000,000.00. The education of more than 2,000,000 children has been stopped or severely hindered. 66,168 families – approximately 331,000 people – have been rendered completely homeless by Typhoon Reming and another 77,046 families have had their homes severely damaged. The Governor's staff have compiled a one inch thick dossier of photographs depicting whole villages turned into matchsticks and hundreds of roofless school buildings.
Now, the latest Typhoon, Utor still wondering around Philippine. As you can see the picture below. Click to see it.
As you can see, thousand of people are dead, thousands people are homeless and millions of people still suffering from poverty. Hopefully god will guide them to make them stronger to go through life ahead.
Let's us pray in our own way.
