The Chinese government was one of the first countries who were generous to donate to Ondoy typhoon victims and they pledged $10,000 to victims of a devastating tropical storm that killed almost 100 people and displaced hundreds of thousands according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Liu Jianchao said the fund will be channeled to the Philippine National Red Cross.
Up to this day, rescue operations started on Sunday as the storm left the country. Hundreds were believed to remain stranded in half-submerged villages and towns near the national capital region. Yours truly was lucky enough that I did not leave the house that day or I am in deep trouble. Thank God!
To the people and the Government of China, on behalf of the Filipinos all over the world - Thank you!

Philippines has experienced a terrible phenomena, which was due to the storm "Ondoy". It wasn't expected that it would be such a calamitous one, because the rain during Friday night (September 25,2009) was not so hard, but the next day,Saturday (September 26,2009), The water rose quickly, because of non stop rain.
There are reported of 140 deaths (and still increasing) and 32 which are still missing. This is a warn to all of us. It is a sign that Earth needs to be healed, it needs caring. We people are the cause of such kind of events. Great floods wouldn't occur if there are just proper drainage, if those canals were just clean, if it wasn't clogged with a lots of trashes, if people were just responsible enough.
If we can't give some donation or help as a volunteer, we could just send prayers, prayers with out most sincerity.
My Little Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, We know that this such kind of events that has just occurred were all caused by us people. We weren't responsible enough, we didn't try to open up are eyes what future has prepared for us if we will do harsh things. Although some of the victims Of "Ondoy" has turned you down, I Know that You Won't ever leave us and I'm thanking for that.I'm also thanking for those graces sent by you by means of other instrument. All I wish is to lead them all to the right path, and hope that they would get all of their needs. Amen
