My country and a lot of fellow Filipinos are now in the midst of huge crisis, but I am more than happy to see that the BAYANIHAN Spirit is very much alive amongst all of us. It is nice to see almost everyone wanting and willing to help in any way they can.

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light | Matthew 11:28-30

    Another tragedy has struck our country. The ruckus on TV is too painful to see. Glad the bayanihan spirit lives on.

    Your post surely helps! Your contribution will surely go a long way. :)

    We'll be a stronger and better nation after this tragedy. We'll all learn from this, that's for sure.

    Not where I live.Ö It did rain, but it was all good from where I live. Cities that are badly hit would be a 1.5 to a 2-hour drive from my place. Thank you for your prayers.Ü

    NOELLE.
    We'll all get through this.
