Let us all be one, Philippines!

Published on by Anna Alexis

These happenings aren’t really new to us Filipinos as we face typhoons from A – Z in just a year. But of course, every aftermath of these situations always end up to be so devastating and heartbreaking. Although I haven’t really experience much frustration from typhoons (just the one time, Typhoon Ondoy where we actually got ourselves ready for it).. having to see kababayans suffer from these happening just breaks my heart. So when we heard in the news (mind you, not only in TFC but in Al Jazeera), together with my parents, we just felt so bad for what happened and would love to send our help to our kababayans all the way to Iligan and Cagayan de Oro City.
