As Christmas beckons, it is so sad to think that not most of us are welcoming it with all the comforts, festivities, gifts + feasts, like we are used to. While most of us are busy doing our last-minute Christmas shopping or wrapping gifts or attending parties here + there, people down south are merely coming to terms with the recent tragedy that struck their areas.
This image instantly invoked the image of how my province was like during the onslaught of typhoon Pedring a few months back. It left numerous barangays + millions of people in deep, murky waters for almost a month. Such a tragic site, really! History is repeating itself, only the victims now are our brothers + sisters {along with their poor children} in Cagayan de Oro + Iligan City in Mindanao. + the culprit, Typhoon Sendong {with the international name of Washi}.
