Thunder Rumbling. Rain Pouring.
Mama: (Cyring) Gikuha na siya ni Jesus anak (Jesus already took him)
Thunder Rumbling. Rain Pouring. Water level rising.
Son: Ma, kuhaon pud ta ni Jesus? (Ma, will Jesus also take us with Him?)
Thunder Rumbling. Rain Pouring. Water level rising. Roof falling.
Mama: (holds child in her arms) Oo, kuhaon nata ni Jesus. Tulog lang sah anak, pagmata nimo uban nata ni Jesus ug ni Papa nimo. (Yes my son, Jesus will save us. Sleep my son, close your eyes, and when you wake up, we will be with Jesus and your father.)

Son: (opens his eyes) I love you Jesus...
As of today, Tropical Storm Sendong (international name: Washi) has killed more than 200, left hundreds missing, and displaced thousands of residents of Cagayan de Oro City. The rains brought by Sendong started at 6 p.m. Friday night and lasted until 2 a.m. Saturday. The water level started rising around midnight and flooding occurred around 2:30AM when the people were sleeping. Areas submerged by floods include Barangays Puntod, Macabalan, Lapasan, villages within the downtown area, and Vamenta Subdivision in Barra, Opol, Misamis Oriental.
The City Government has started distributing relief goods to the flood victims along with other private agencies while Xavier University had also set up a relief center and an information desk, especially for its employees and students who were affected by the calamity.
Emano said in a radio interview that the City Government was unable to expect the speed and enormity of Sendong (which I think is absurd since this is already a repeat of what happened in 2009; proper measures should have already been made to have prevented this from happening again).
As of 12:30 p.m., the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council is still having a meeting to assess the extent of the damage and the possible assistance that can be provided to the victims.
I mourn for those who have lost loved ones in this calamity and I pray for those who were affected to have the hope and courage to go on in these difficult times.
