BLACK SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER

The devastating onslaught of typhoon “Ondoy” last Saturday left millions of families homeless and raked in countless of deaths throughout the different areas of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon and Metro Manila. It was the strongest to hit the metropolis since typhoon “Milenyo” in September 2006.

It was depression at its highest level as everything you watch on TV news and hear on the airwaves are our helpless kababayans pleading for help and needing immediate assistance for rescues to salvage themselves and their love ones. It was a total nightmare, a truly excruciating experience for the country.

During these times, sports takes a backseat and everyone is encourage to give his piece of sharing to help out the needy. The morale of our countrymen is at its lowest and it’s hightime that we start rebuilding and recover from the irrepressible damage left by said typhoon.

God Bless the Philippines.
