Anything But Down

For the past 10 days, the only thing that remained constant in Manila was the heavy downpour.

The rain, just like a nasty rash, simply refused to go away.

The city was once again submerged in flood water.

Properties were damaged. Lives were lost. Classes suspended. Offices closed. Earthquake. Landslide.

But like with everything else handed to us, this recent incident will be taken with a grain of salt.

Pinoys will find humor in everything - even in tough situations.

We will get through this, as always.

It would take more than a bad weather to dampen the Filipino Spirit.

Teacher Pogi said...

Agree ako na makikita ulit ang Filipino spirit sa ganitong mga sitwasyon.

Dahil walang tubig sa mga batcave natin, tulong tayo! Ang daming institusyon na gumagawa ng organisadong pagtulong! :)
