I am from Hagonoy, Bulacan and I guess you have been hearing about our place in the news. Wow, I want to see them but I couldn't because we didn't have electricity for two weeks. I'm happy that after weeks of darkness, we have electricity now.
I am thankful cause we are luckier than other people who experienced staying at the roof of their house cause the flood reached even the second floor of their house. We only had waist-high flood in our streets.
There was also scarcity of food cause. Thank God donations from many groups came. I won't forget this calamity.

yes the past typhoon was so strong and bulacan is the most devastated place in NCR because that is the catch basin of many dams who open the gates because the water is also pouring and they need to open the gates to pull out the water in the dam and the bulacan will suffer because tons of water was eliminated in the dams, yes be always thankful what you will get and what you will suffer, its only God's will you must stand and have faith in GOD, this is only trials, you know many groups are giving donations and also the big channel networks will give donations too, because we Filipinos are helping who are in need of help that's called "BAYANIHAN", be thankful that your alive, pray always and have faith in GOD, THANK YOU.

I am happy that your hardship with the flood is finally over and that you now have electricity. Pray that typhoon Ramon currently in the country will not affect your place again, because it's said to have lots of rain with it.
Let's just all pray that the typhoons will simply just pass and go out of the Philippines.

Wow. Praise God you guys survived. I lived in a flood-prone area as a child and I hated those times when we had to lift our things upstairs in order to save them from the floods. My last flood was in college, though I was in Manila during Frank, and Iloilo during Ondoy, by God's grace and mercy.
It is certainly tragic to experience a flood as bad as that. I pray God will restore everything that was lost from you..

hi. i am thankful that that tragic weeks were over. even seeing people experiencing such sad and unfortunate situations and conditions can really affect one's being.
it can serve as an eye opener to many things (i hope).
what i cannot bear to see is how politicians use these situations as media opp. or exposure. pathetic fools!
