Did you watch the news yesterday? Or maybe listened to the radio? Typhoon Frank (Fengshen) was really a disaster... Grabe, here in Cavite, I think 5 towns were submerged by flood... In Iloilo naman, lampas tao na yung tubig-baha... "Iloilo is like an ocean...." according to Governor Tupaz...Parts of Manila and other nearby provinces were also flooded... Even some of the provinces in Visayas were also affected by the typhoon. Hundreds of people were killed and thousands of people were homeless...
And, yeah, about the MV Princess of the Stars... Grabe, around 700 passengers are still missing... 4 people were confirmed dead... And 4 survivors were in Sapatos Islands waiting for the rescue... According to a resource, hundreds of people might still be inside the ship and weren't able to jumped into the water when the ship tilted (most of them were old people)... Many of the passengers jumped even though the waves were huge and the rain was heavy... Rescuers are still hoping that many passengers and crews have reached the shore...
As of now, the rescuers are in constant search for other survivors of the MV Princess of the Stars... On the other hand, relatives of the passengers, who went to Sulpicio Lines office, are praying that their families and loved ones are somehow safe and alive...
That's a very sad news for us... Sana hindi na dumami yung bilang ng mga casualties...
Anyway, I was watching DZMM Tele Radyo yesterday... Nag-enjoy akong basahin yung mga text messages ng mga tao na nagrereklamo or whatever tungkol sa typhoon and gov't... Wala lang, natuwa lang ako kasi di ba the first announcement of suspension of classes only concerned the elementary and high school students... so nagrereklamo itong ibang mga college students kasi 11 pm pa iaannounce kung suspended ba yung classes sa tertiary level... Some were saying na "bata din kami noh, affected din ng typhoon" and the like.. hehe.. It makes sense naman talaga eh.. Tapos some parents were also asking kung may pasok ba sa lugar nila, at the end of the message, may nakalagay "fr. galit na magulang of (insert place here)".. hehe.. If my memory serves me right, 2 different messages yung ganun.. hehe.. Tapos there's this one texter na nagtanong kung ano ba talaga ang tama, MV Princess of the Star or MV Princess of the Stars, kasi daw other stations ang sabi "Star" lang pero sa ABS-CBN "Stars".. hehe.. Keen observer huh? pero ang tama is MV PRINCESS OF THE STARS (may S) hehe.. Some private employees were also protesting kasi daw puro public employees lang yung focus ng suspension ng office.. "tao din kami" according to one of the texters.. hehe.. Then yung last na napansin ko, may isang texter na hindi ko alam kung naligaw ba siya or sadya kasi ang nakalagay dun sa text nia "ma m22log knb?" hehe.. di ba, news yun e, tapos ganun yung text nia.. hehe.. hay naku..
'til here folks.. Let's just pray for the families na affected ng typhoon... Let's pray na hindi na dumami yung casualties and that everything will soon be okay.. ^^,)
God bless..
