I want to sent my heartfelt condolences to the people "kababayan" back home. I was sad coz I've been to those cities that affected of mud and floods. Can you imagine the death toll from the storm "Ketsana" went up to 280? This is really a tragic, be brave pinoy!. Luckily my family is in the south part of the country, they only experienced just the rain. Mindanao which is in the south is surrounded by mountains and we have the tallest mountain in the country the Mt. Apo and on the shore we are surrounded by islands to which the storm could'nt enter in our city. Unfortunately the north and middle part of the country is prone to pacific storm. God bless the Philippines!
