I Hope You are safe, wherever you may be in the Philippines

I am safe because we live in high place, my friend. Even do my neighbor suffer a lots of floods. We are not experience such things...Thanks for that kind of care...have a nice day!

I am so thankful that i live in an area that doesn't get flooded... we have the occassional ankle deep flood water but that is nothing compared to what happened to Marikina and other areas in our country... i feel so sorry for them... and my daugther and i prayed for their safety... and that more help will ge to them...

Rain has stopped now. Areas here in Metro Manila that were impassable before are now accessible. There are still lots and lots of vehicles in the street and the people stranded in their vehicles stayed in. There are talks that malls will be opened to accommodate stranded pedestrians. In these times of crisis the Heroes and Zeroes emerge.

Really? My only friends from Philippines are here in this site. I do hope they are alright!

Oh my this is bad, now i am very worried about my family back there in Philippines, specially my mom. I am now staying in Singapore and now i am away i alway worried about them and i usually feel so helpless when this things happens, and it painful for me. I wish it was not so hard to earn money in the Philippine so i could just go home and work there. :(

Oh no! I haven't watched the news yet but my sister in the Philippines sent me a message that it is raining non-stop there. She told me that our house is currently filled with knee deep water. When i was there, i didn't experience that. This is by far the worst flood ever because it made it's way in our house. The typhoon before didn't even make even a toe deep entrance near the door. That was one hell of a storm. I hope people are safe and be strong to face the new world tomorrow.

Lucky for us our place is high and the storm did not affect us that much. Sad for those who are affected, for those whose houses are flooded, for those who are stuck in traffic and for those who loss so much. I pray for you all.

I am also living in the mountains but still we are experiencing strong rains here since yesterday but the good think is we are safe.

I live in Laguna and Laguna is in a state of calamity right now. I'm lucky though that from where I live,it's not as severe as some areas in Laguna. I feel bad though for those who are experiencing the worst of this storm. Hopefully the storm will be out of our country soon and that those who are affected will recover soon. Keep safe everyone.

Hello anne, Here in the city where i lived also had floods now.Water rise very fast and i can see people now even evacuated from their homes and right here where i lived just across i can see the overpass filled with people who make it as their temporary shelter since their homes were being flooded now. This is reall sad...but i hope this will give us some lessons too.We,/humans destroys our own sorroundings and here we are the one who suffers the consequences of it. Trash and garbage thrown everywhere clogged the drainage and sewers...wish this serves as lesson to all city residence and...a wake up calls to all politicians and our sleeping government

yes, situation here in the philippines is getting worst...but what keeps me worried is the situation of my students...Some of them are living under the bridge. They told me that their houses were destroyed by typhoon ondoy... As i was reading their text messages, tears began to fall in my eyes... too sad...I can't help them by any means...The only thing I can offer is prayer though prayer is very powerful... imagine, these students study hard for them to be successful in life someday. They might be living in squatters area but I know they do want to achieve their goals and live in a secure place. I always inspire them to reach for their dreams and not to lose hope. Now, i'm afraid that their faith will fall down... I want to them to be motivated but i know that in their heart right now, there's no more room for motivation neither inspiration. They loss everything even their school things. Please help me pray for these children.. That God will intervene and may God give them the wisdom to understand his will in their life.

The rain is really non-stop. As I watch the News Advisory, the storm was strong and the water is overflowing. There are many of our fellow countrymen experiencing had a hard time right now, its already dark and hardly to be rescued. I'm very thankful that I don't experience it. We only experience light rainfall and winds. Hope that people there will be rescued soon.

hopefully the rain will stop but according to PAG_ASA by tomorrow afternoon the typhoon will be out of the area of responsibility.i really changed my mind not to go to Manila for a review because for what i have seen in the news today, i think almost of the Manila area is flooded. Traffic is everywhere and people are going out from their cars and walked instead because their cars cant withstand the flood.Plus, anytime today,dams will relase volume of water once it reach on a critical level and this will make the situation even worse.Im glad im here in Zamboanga and will be reviewing instead in Cebu.

I am a resident here in the Philippines talking about the weather here will yeah your right its rainy in here.But only the luzon areas i am living in visayas so we are just experiencing rain and strong winds but its safe here compared to manila r in luzon here in Cebu i seldom experienced flooding here.Luzon keeps on flooding because their sewers are completely blocked by garbage sad to say but some of the residents were not not disciplined enough in terms of proper disposal of their trashes so we cannot blame mother nature if it strikes back also in some mountanous region in Luzon illegal logging is very rampant thats why our trees cannot hold the water anymore.Sad to say but its the fact and its getting worse as time goes by.

Hi, I am in Negros Oriental and it's been raining non-stop too for many days now although there's no strong winds. And the storm has not passed by here but the pull of the monsoon rains is great causing rains and flooding. And it's a bit cold too. I welcome the rain but I don't like it when it's been raining for many days LOL. I am safe thank you but I hope the rain will stop because I am going back and forth to the hospiatl to help take care of a sick cousin and it's not nice to go out always when it's raining.

I'm not aware that it is raining non stop last night but right now the rain is non stop and there's flood outside. It's almost reach our house but luckily the water subsided. We still afraid that it is going to flood again here. It's only signal no.1 here but it seems it is signal no.2 or 3 because of the heavy rainfall.

yes, i see breaking news now and from time to time on tv. there is flooding along mother ignatia avenue where big tv stations are located. i am now watching a noontime show that is a replay of one they had shown last saturday (it is saturday here when i write this) ... might be because of the bad weather in manila and luzon area. i live in central visayas and we had strong winds yesterday and not-so-hard rains. now, it is too windy and we have occasional rains. hope everyone is okay where they are. let's pray that this will be over immediately to avoid serious damage to life and properties.

i just want to share my moment during the typhoon..... i was in school attending my bar tending class and since its raining so hard then,admin announces the suspension of the class....on my way home rain was so hard that broke my umbrella,no bus to ride because of the floods over the roads and some cars stock.... i was so hesitate to get home so i keep walking and walking no matter how hard is the rain and no umbrella at all,my bags and things are wet,i just walking.... one and a half hour of walking and am home... our house was full of floods,things are wet and all... up to the chest and nothing have save....its a sad thing at all..... we have to move to other places to get safe and comeback the next day.... it was all mess....anyway that is life,and when there is a typhoon all mess was left..were back home and safe...
