Thanks to Yahoo for this photo.

Nakakabagbag damdamin ang nangyari sa Compostela Valley at Davao Oriental na talagang hinagupit ng bagyong “Pablo.”

Habang pinapanood , pinapakinggan at binabasa ko ang mga report galing doon, naisip ko,tayo na hindi tinamaan ng hagupit ng bagyong “Pablo” ay walang karapatang magreklamo at mamaktol sa mga problema natin.

Kung ano man ang ating problema – walang pera pangbili ng bagong IPhone o pinakabago na labas ng Samsung o kulang ang ating pang-Christmas shopping – wala yan sa kalingkingan sa hirap na dinaranas ngayon ng mga tao sa Davao Oriental at sa Compostela Valley na mismo ang kanilang evacuation center ay tinangay rin ni Pablo. Wala silang masilungan habang patuloy ang pag-ulan. Kahit sa pagkain at inumin kinukulang.

Pinakita sa TV ang bata na na- rescue sa putikan. Buhay siya ngunit puno ng sugat ang katawan. Hindi pa nakikita ang kanyang mga magulang at 11 kapatid. Nang binigyan ng tubig, nagpasalamat siya. Nakaka-iyak at nakaka-hanga.

Louie Diangson Leave a comment

Google has just recently published a crisis response map to help the Philippine government and local residents track Typhoon Pablo’s progress and provide updated emergency information.

The map is updated real time with data coming from the EC Joint Research Centre and shows storm warnings, shelter locations, the latest weather information, and more. The map is available in English and in Filipino.

Typhoon Pablo (Bopha) is the strongest tropical storm to hit the country this year. It made landfall this morning with wind gusts of up to 195 kph (121 mph).
