I’ve been praising the Filipino Rock Music scene here lately and have really gotten into its beautiful sounds. When I heard and saw the destruction from Ketsana/Ondoy, I was greatly saddened. Here’s a few videos from just normal folks that hit it home how lucky some of us are to live where we live.
This one shows cars being swept away and a person on top of one. Others are desperately trying to save her but have no really good ideas on how:
This video overlooks a large neighborhood next to an over-flooded river that was pretty much wiped out. People are stranded on top of their shacks waiting for help that probably isn’t coming. Remember that the Philippines is a poor country and niceties like emergency help are luxuries:
Here people are just doing their best to try to get through the day. It’s amazing to think that they are just going to tough it out no matter what. In the end, I guess that’s just what you have to do during a tragedy as there’s no time to bitch about anything. Just go on with the business of trying to live on no matter what.

my friends in Philippines were also victimized by the flooding caused by Typhoon Ondoy. i just hope that you guys could recover soon from this natural disaster. `
The person on top of the floating car is a doctor and is a friend’s daughter. She luckily survived when the waters rose higher up to where the other people were.
