I thought that typhoon Milenyo was the worst typhoon that came to Metro Manila. The calamity happened in 2006 and there's no electricity in my community for almost 3 weeks. After 3 years, another great calamity has shaken Metro Manila and it goes by the name of tyhpoon Ondoy. Ondoy showered Metro Manila a month worth of rain in just hours! Because of those, high areas were submerged in floods. And sadly, a lot of people died.


Fortunately, I didn't experience not even an inch of flood even though I live near the river. And the power interruption is only for 24 hours. Indeed I am lucky. But I find it bothering to be happy since there are a lot of casualties caused by this typhoon. So in return, I want to help. I want to extend a hand to victims of typhoon Ondoy. Some friends and classmates have already done their part, and now, I believe, it's my turn to give back.
