The news is grim. People on their roofs, people losing their homes, loved ones separated, refugees everywhere, the most recent report is 5,000 people stuck in the Trinoma Mall in Quezon City. I have yet to confirm this but have heard this is the worst deluge since 1967; PAGASA reported that in three hours, as much rain as normally falls in two weeks soaked the Metropolis. Reports from the rest of Luzon -with most of Luzon?s provinces, including the National Capital Region placed under a State of Calamity by the President- are only now trickling in. Rescue and relief efforts over the years have gotten increasingly efficient, but this is one of those events that happen so suddenly, no one can possibly prepare for it.

Fellow bloggers may want to help on collating specific types of information they encounter online: appeals for rescue, traffic/flood updates, places to send relief goods, power failures, etc. This allows relief workers and media to focus on who needs help, while avoiding the risk that the ones who get rescued are those whose appeals are reTweeted most often, while others asking for help get overlooked, for example.

One person online is putting a Marikina map with updates: ViewOndoy map for Marikina in a larger map. Contribute to, and spread the word on,?Rescue Hub Info Central.

You will be a big help by collating information because relief/rescue workers and media can then periodically refer to your blogs to help evaluate what?s going on and what still needs to be done. Numbers are being collated here and in?Sour Politics and?Random Salt.

At a time like this, there is so much human compassion and so much frustration, too. So even if it?s by means of this small, online way, we can all pitch in.

I was reading Rico’s Bahay-Bahayan, hoping to see some yummy food again.. But I was amazed by what I read.. I want to go!!!! Yes that place is here in the PI.

I’ve always wanted to travel.. But never got around to doing it.. Maybe when I have more money.. And lesser responsibilities.. ( Hmm.. lesser responsibilities.. parang mahirap yun hehe )

He says the round trip ticket when he called Zest, for two people is at Php2,700.00.

Now I checked their website, and until October 31, 2009, they have 40% off of their published room only rates.

Wew! When I checked their rates, the cheapest with the 40% off is around Php12,000. Converted it from $ to Php. ?The fare is cheap.. the stay is not

I guess, I’d have to wait until I can dip into my savings account…

Libre..?
