Warnings about the then typhoon Megi (it hadn't reached our area of responsibility yet, thus the international name) had been given since early last week, as PAGASA and the national government were weary of what it would bring, it was said to be stronger than Ondoy, which, if you could remember, beaten Metro Manila and it's neighboring provinces and cities into a pulp, taking a number of innocent lives and destroying millions-worth of properties. It was said to land on Saturday evening, and though I didn't move a muscle to prepare, I was always waiting for the news, it's good that it didn't really hit the metro but it is said to be wrecking havoc in Cagayan, Tugegarao, Isabela, among other provinces. Though, I am really thankful that the storm decided to swerve away from my location, I am worried for the lives of those who are affected and will be affected by it, the last tweet I read from DOST was that more provinces are held under signal 4 and the typhoon seems to be holding on to its strength. I can't do much but I can utter a silent prayer asking for their safety and you could do so too, I guess, the more people who ask the louder our voice will be.
Spare a little time and include our countrymen in our prayers, it's the best that we could do at the moment.
