September 27,2009.Banning California.As we are experiencing a post summer season in
the United States,people in the Philippines,specifically in Metropolitan Manila
area are experiencing a record breaking volume of flooding water brought about
by a recently concluded typhoon codenamed Ondoy.
Since Manila is a low lying plain,flooding is always expected. Much more when a
high tide comes by and coincided with heavy monsoon and typhoon.
Manila is highly vulnerable to flood disaster,aggravated with an uncontrolled
waterways and continued clogging of canals,rivers brought about by unwarranted
dumping of solid wastes into them.
As the city becomes populous due to progress or migration,let us always keep in our
minds that a corresponding destruction in our environment occurs.The more wastes
we dump ,the more clogging and flooding we must expect.This happens when we are
disregarding a proper way to dispose off our garbage and other related wastes.
Comes the rain,monsoon and typhoon then we reap our share of burden.For the victims
let me extend my sympathy and condolences.

An Exodus
Banning,California.In spite of a blistering heat of the sun, Calbayognons living in the United States are enthusiastic and happy in attending the Saturday novenas
honoring the coming 317Th Fiesta celebration for the Nativity of the Blessed
Virgin Mary in our home country in the Philippines.Come September 8,2009.
Calbayog.A first class city in Western Samar. Samar,being the third largest island
in the Philippines.Currently has an estimated population of 164,000.
Calbayog City for us is truly a cherished old city where we can find our roots.A place where our childhood friends are.A Serene place for people who wanted peace.By just swimming in the nearby beaches is good enough to release the stress,thus curing a bit of weariness brought about by our daily struggle to earn money for a family to live.
Through the years, I still clearly recall when we were in grade school.When we were excited then to wake up early in anticipation for a Diana.It is a centuries old
practice in our city to employ ambulant musician to play nostalgic music at daybreak for the purpose of waking up the residents to usher in the series of activities for the grand day ahead.Till then bye
