(Pics) Bagyong Ondoy lashes the Philippines
September 29, 2009
You’ve probably seen that moving video of a woman on the roof of her car during the flood in UERM, Sta. Mesa Manila (see video here).
Less-talked about, however, is the man on the same video hanging onto a coconut tree while the cars around him swirl and get drowned.
And there’s one gripping photo of what seems to be a dead body of a woman in Marikina still lying on the street a day after the typhoon hit their area.
These are just some of the unfortunate stories brought by Typhoon Ondoy which devastated parts of Metro Manila, particularly, Marikina, Pasig, and Rizal.
Some more photos of the Ondoy (international name: Ketsana) aftermath below.

I lost my most beloved Zol who died trapped in his home at Provident village..He would not have died but his desire to save most of his documents and made him return to his library cost his dear life…He was 83 years old but he looks 10 years or more younger than his real age..with good reflexes coz he still drives a car at long distance places…still witty..intelligent and very much charming..very kind to the needy..oh he was almost perfect..I miss him and will miss him as long as i live because i love him so much..and the deepest pain will linger on and on…May his soul rest in peace and be with the tender hands of God…I love you Zol so very much..

About 28 people died in the basement of SM Sta. Mesa because they got trapped by the rushing flood. That’s something that you won’t see in the news. Money makes the world go ’round.

@SM, I’ve been hearing that rumor too but no one I know can really vouch for that. If that’s indeed true, it’s sad that this news story never saw light in mainstream media. May the souls of those who died there rest in peace.
