It's almost two weeks now (12 days to be exact) and it's still raining here in our country.there's no typhoon here though, it's just a southwest monsoon.many places here especially in Manila are experiencing floods, many families have been evacuated from their homes. Marikina river have reached it's spilling level as well as La Mesa Dam. 9 people died in Quezon City..Sigh!Many of our fellowmen have running out of food.But despite of that, many volunteers are giving their time to help and kind-hearted people are donating foods, clothing's, and water for those family who are in need.
So guys let's pray them and for the rain to stop.

It is amazing how you kept count of how many days it had been raining. It is a good thing that somehow it had not been raining as hard for the past 12 hours and that the flood waters in some areas have been reported to have begun to subside already. Let us continue to pray for those who have lost homes and loved ones and even for those who have unselfishly lent themselves to rescue and relief operations.

It is very good news that your country is getting good rains. In our country we are facing severe problem of water. We are not getting enough rains here. In my area there is very little rains which is sufficient for the farmers. Here we are facing severe drinking water problem. Government is doing well but there is no rains.

It is quite the opposite in U.S.A here. We don't have rain at all. Only the last 2 days, we had dark cloud passing through, and some drizzle. Unfortunately, it didn't rain in my county though. Somehow that dark cloud didn't come by, and we got no rain at all. My mom has to water the plant three times a day, and we pray there is some rain here. Can we share half of that?

It has stopped raining here in Manila. It is getting sunny already. But according to the news, there will be a few rainfall in the late afternoon. Stay safe! My family and I just stay inside our house. We got to bond a lot because of the heavy rains. Again, Stay safe. let us pray for the Philippines.

Yes, let us continue to pray. A lot of people are worried here down south and we continue to monitor the happenings there in Luzon. Our weather here is erratic. It can get very hot during daytime and then heavy rain late afternoon. We have our floods here too but they are nothing compared to what has been happening in the north. I hope our relatives are ok.
