Reminder to All People

Sa mga gustong umuwi dahil sa bagyo, paalala ko lang sa inyo.

Don't go home if:
1. You don't know basic survival skills;
2. You don't have goods or services to offer;
3. You are sick;
4. You don't have the stomach for dead bodies or garbage scattered around.

Do go home if you have these:
1. Power generators;
2. Batteries;
3. Radios;
4. Relief Goods;
5. Solar panels;
6. Medicine;
7. SKILLS(survival, medical, construction and rescue)

-Power is down in most areas left by the eye of the storm.
-Let's prioritize the relief goods for the ones who need them the most.(Wag na kayong maki-agaw pa.)
-Water lines may be contaminated, so it's best for you to stay away from that area.
-Some bridges and roads are impassable and power lines are blocking roads. Construction force is a must to facilitate relief operations.
-Transportation should be prioritized to give way for gov't aid and rescue.
-Civil unrest are dominant in some areas be sure to be able to defend your self from mad mob.

It Hit Us Hard!

The horror left by the super typhoon "Yolanda"(local name)/"Haiyan"(international name) has ravaged people across the nation. Heavy rains, high velocity winds, storm surges, floods and landslides have crippled cities and towns. Leyte received the full strength of the typhoon as the storm pierced through its heart. What's more frightening is that power, water and communication lines are broken and to add that, roads were block or rendered impassable due to landslides and damaged tracks.

Yolanda hopped from one island to another leaving chaos and panic to the people it traversed. The province of Capiz and Aklan are currently in bad shape as its eye swept houses, business structures, agricultural lands and trees. Moreover, some towns are also experiencing power outages and roadblocks.

I was born and raised in Isabel, Leyte and in my 19 years of existence, this was the first time I was worried for the people there. I thought every typhoon was the same. We used to enjoy the sight of a typhoon coming as classes would then be suspended but I never imagined it would come to this extent. All I can do as of now is WAIT for information and DISSEMINATE them to my fellow brothers and sisters who are still unable to reach their love ones inside Leyte.


Relief operations are under way but the lack of good communication has left some towns to be properly assessed of their needs. The news tells us much of Tacloban City only and it is quite disappointing for the media and the government not publicizing other towns and provinces just like Aklan and Capiz which also need attention and assistance as they are also crippled.

We now humble ourselves and ask you to help us rebuild our places and help our affected brethren who are in dire need of medical assistance, water, shelter, clothes and food.

These are some photos from my home province. Thanks to these generous people sharing their photos on facebook.com.

Most of the towns in Leyte are still unreachable or partially-reachable via mobile phones and the agony for us outside Leyte is not knowing the real and current status of our families. Please help us reach them by donating relief goods and money to foundations conducting relief operations.

This is open for relief operations intended for Isabel, Leyte by some alumni and alumnae of LLCI.
"Our hometown suffered heavily over the surge of typhoon Yolanda. As one family, we call on everyone to be involved in any way to help our devastated hometown. Families lost their homes. Food supply, medicines and clothing are needed. We are knocking at your kind hearts for financial assistance.

Kailan

kasi nga new year....

Ilang segundo pa ba akong mahuhuli? Ilang oras pa ba akong mag-aabang? Ilang araw pa ba akong magpapapansin? Ilang linggo pa ba akong matutulala? Ilang buwan pa akong mag-iisa? Ilang taon pa ba akong mananaginip na ika'y maging isang magandang dalaga ng aking kahapon, marilag na binibini na aking kasangga sa kasalukuyan, marupok na matanda ng aking kinabukasan, at higit sa lahat, ang huling taong kakapit sa aking kamay hanggang sa aking huling mga sandali?
