Ondoy was one of the two major typhoons that hit the country last year. The onslaught of flood waters took many lives, destroyed a lot of properties like homes that took years to build, vehicles which they needed to have vehicle insurance quotes for repair (which is not easy to do when their belongings have been washed away by the flood waters?) and personal belongings.
Ondoy took with it people’s dreams and hopes.
This tragic event brought out the best and the worst in our people.
I personally know friends who have been on the path of the deluge, whose homes were almost destroyed, whose lifelong personal belongings washed away, and loved ones they almost lost.
Everyone had a story to tell.
Everyone had some cleaning up to do one way or another, depending on how the onslaught of flood has affected them.
People tried to put their lives back together.
People tried to see the good this tragedy brought despite the major setbacks they went through.
People’s resolves were tested.
I sincerely hope that everyone has learned a thing or two about this and sincerely pray that none like this will happen again.
