Ondoy post 2

The casualties declared by the National Disaster Coordinating Council had reached 200 plus. There were still people missing. The streets in Marikina, Pasig, Antipolo,and majority of Rizal provinces had looked like a ghost towns. Houses were destroyed, dead bodies of domestic animals were left floating, dead bodies were recovered, mud had totally covered the places. But aside from these municipalities there were other cities that were fatally affected by the storm. A lot of our kababayan had lost their homes, properties, love ones..their dreams. Pains and sufferings were vividly drawn into their eyes. I could not simply describe the situation that our country had been facing right now.
Volunteers coming from different walks of life had started to go out from their homes. They tried to exhaust all possible means to help our fellow pinoys. Everybody was trying to reach out and produce all the help they could give. Me and my family had started to gather decent and clean clothes. My sister had collected some of her clothes and decided to give it to some of her officemates. We could all help with our own means. Start within your community. The National Government, unfortunately, could not cover the whole affected areas so better act now. Do what you can do. You dont need to go to other places to help just look within your communities. Start from there.
