Manila is in dire situation after the catastrophic aftermath of the bagyong Ondoy (Ketsana storm). People really need a lot of help this time, shelter particulary. I have heard a lot of private sectors, including individuals in and out of the country, pushing hard and reaching out for help to the victims. I salute the them for the difference made big or small, it doesn't matter. I know that the Philippines is every now and then hit by storms, it actually is a passageway whenever a storm is born. I'm not sure statistically, but I think it happens every year. And every year, thousands of people die or displaced. Of course we cannot appeal Mother Nature to be merciful or less violent. Only we can hope that a possible solution will bring forth into surface to avoid repeat in the future. Something that will prevent high flood so that no one gets eroded and dies. Would it be possible, government? Please do something. Calling all presidentiables, vice-presidentiables, & all aspiring for government office in the forthcoming 2010 election, can you include this in your plaftform? I believe something should be done.
