(Pics) Bagyong Ondoy lashes the Philippines

UERM, Sta. Mesa, Manila - Typhoon OndoyYou’ve probably seen that moving video of a woman on the roof of her car during the flood in UERM, Sta. Mesa Manila.

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) in the link below.

Why Filipinos do not become business owners or entrepreneurs

For a majority of Filipinos, entrepreneurship does not seem to be a typical, expected path. This is not surprising, considering that in school, students are primarily taught to become employees after graduation. Students train for years to become staff workers, reporting to a supervisor, and just waiting to receive their wages or salaries every month. ... Read more

  1. After my wife and I were able to evacuate my son and his yaya from a 3 story apartment building a house away from our 1 story house in Provident village that got fully submerged, I went back to provident village to give some food to Stacy, our golden retriever, who got stranded on the roof of a 2 story apartment behind out house(we already rescued her yesterday). On my way out of Provident village, I saw a woman crying all by herself while leaning on the wall and felt sorry for her until I realized that she was actually standing beside a body lying on the sidewalk. I really can’t describe what I felt as I walked past by her… sigh.

  2. Hanggang ngayon po umiiyak ako sa habag sa mga taong napinsala sa Pilipinas. Noon pa po akong Sabado nanginginig at hindi makarecover sa pagkashock sa nangyari sa ating bayan. Sana po, wala ng bagyong pumasok pa. Nakakaawa ang mga kababayan natin sa Pilipinas.
    Hindi ko po maubos maisip kung paano sila makakarecover sa pangyayaring iyan. Panalangin na lang po ang maitutulong ko sa lahat ng naapektuhan.

  6. im from cebu,even we’re not affected in floods naiiyak ako sa Nakikita ko sa news kung gaano napinsala ng bagyong ondoy ang pilipinas, sana wala nang ganong mangyayari sa atin, all this are trials and i hope that people who encounter the floods they can recover and survive, dont lose hope and faith in GOD, he always our side inspite of many trials and problems we’ve encounter. Iniisip ko yung mga tao napinsala ng bagyong ondoy na nawalan ng tirahan,damit, pagkain at halos lahat nawala sana marami parin tulong maiibigay sa kanila. Lalo na yung mga bata na maaga nilang naranasan ang lupit ni bagyong ondoy sana hindi po magsasawa mga tao tutulong sa kanila. Prayer is the best weapon that i can share and help them. and thank you sa lahat ng tumulong sa aming kababayan sa pilipinas. DONT LOSE HOPE LIFE MUST GO ON.

  10. 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.

  12. I’ve been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours today, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.

  13. I don’t genuinely care how or when i get the Letters in the Mail. Every time it arrives, it feels like a letter should be. It’s suddenly there in my mail box one day. A great, tangible surprise. I am for you doing whatever you want when you send it. Mix it up to the people today who help get it sent out. Include crumbs from your lunch. Coffee stains. Whatever. Keep the tedious character of getting letters out to a minimum by doing whatever you feel like that day. The arrival from the letter and the words with the author inside are what matters. Personally, what I like very best about The Rumpus is that I never ever know what I’ll study that day. Or if there is just not one which day, maybe it’s because Stephen couldn’t discover anything to say or there was much too much likely on.
