Today is Christmas… but as I heard the news that there will
be another tropical storm called Quinta that will hit Visayas and Mindanao in
the Philippines, I think what a sad Christmas for people who will be victims
again. Just this earlier December, Typhoon Pablo hit some parts of Visayas and
Mindanao…and everything was so tragic. Particularly in Mindanao, there in
Compostella Valley thousands of people died because of landslides…And up to this time, many people are still
missing…
These events will not only make the Filipino people down but
it will also leave a lot of lessons to be learned. First and foremost is to
take care of the mother nature as people in Compostella Valley engaged in too much mining. Thus, this
has something to do with those calamities and tragedies. But then, as it
happened already, let’s just pray for everyone and especially the people there
who survived. May their lives will still be full of hope and faith.
Here’s a video clip showing the victims and the damages
during the Typhoon Pablo in the Philippines. By this, I hope this can make us
think how lucky and thankful we are; who are living a wonderful life. Any of
our help will make a huge difference to those victims.
