I don't know if this is allowed. This a X-post from my journal though. I think it's time for us to boost the spirit of "kapatiran" and "bayanihan"
The Philippines is no stranger to certain calamities such as typhoons, with average of about 20 typhoons coming and going out of the country. Typhoon Ondoy *with international name Ketsana* is not that really strong with winds averaging 85 kph. I have experienced more stronger typhoons compared to this. But Metro Manila with 23 provinces *including mine* never anticipated just how much rain the typhoon would bring, thus bringing flash floods that certainly overwhelmed us all.
I am now pimping a post by my LJ friend,
greyrook_22 This post includes pretty much everything about the typhoon, stories and pictures about people that would touch you or irk you for that matter, and information as to how you can donate/help the victims of Ondoy.
