Save the victims of typhoon Sendong
Let’s save Iligan, Cagayan de Oro and Northern Mindanao !
While everyone is preparing for the upcoming Yuletide celebration, our brothers in Visayas and Mindanao are suffering from the aftermath of the typhoon Sendong which struck the southern part of the country this weekend.
Never was the province exposed to such threats for several years but recently the devastation of Sendong has brought everyone in these parts of the counrty to their knees.
I was so struck by the photos and footages shared by fellow bloggers on what happened at Cagayan de Oro. Analogous as it happened during typhoon Ondoy yet the damage and the death toll has surpassed the former.
I was so disheartened to see bodies of dead children while their parents and relatives grieve. It’s too much for me to accept what I saw that I burst into tears. I felt what these people are experiencing. A father with a lifeless kid in his arms. It really breaks my heart. I can’t help to think that it might happen to us. Yet I am thankful that the Lord has kept me and my family safe throughout the storms that passed.
I fear to say that the dead are already gone in this world (may their soul rest in peace). Yet the people who are left alive are still to suffer more pain and regret. Lives lost can no longer be replaced even with any amount… True. But a helping hand is what the survivors of this tragedy is what it takes for them to stand up from their bad fall.
I ask for everyone of us to help our fellowmen who are victims of this unlikely tragedy. You can make your donations to the various channels available to you.

I know it is Christmas Day soon. Sharing just any amount that you can gratefully give to the poor victims of typhoon Sendong would help them in any way possible. It is now the right time to show the true meaning of Christmas to our fellow countrymen.
We may have gifts and food to eat this Christmas but these people will be left without anything to celebrate for themselves.

I’m so touched with your blog post. I didn’t realize the death toll has surpassed that of Ondoy. Thank you for making us aware and touching our hearts. We should never stop caring. That’s what makes us human.
Me too. I rally can’t stop crying after seeing piles of photos of our dead kababayan’s. The rest of the country is sound asleep on that night while other people are dying and trying to survive. I am out of words now how to express my deep sadness on this tragedy.
