Resiliency – a word that we always hear being linked as one of the remarkable traits of the Filipinos. November 8, 2013 – a day considered as one of the most tragic days in Philippine history. Super-typhoon Haiyan (local name: Yolanda) has brought attention to the world as they see how one of the most catastrophic incidents undermine the Filipinos as we try to cope up with the loss and chaos this has brought to Eastern & Western Visayas. While we mourn for all the lives lost & destruction of their homes, celebrating the upcoming holiday season might prove to be a challenge for our fellow countrymen. Still, faith in humanity, true enough has been restored with the astounding generosity of international aid coming in from all parts of the world. We all can’t help but feel grateful for the utmost kindness everyone has shown for all of us. Amidst the whirlwind of confusion, mourning & sacrifice, we as a nation, truly stand and help one another as we help our fellow citizens rebuild the lives that has been greatly affected by this calamity. On behalf of each and every Filipino, we would like to thank everyone who has extended their thoughts and prayers, relief and aid to our nation. One of the acclaimed journalists of all time, Anderson Cooper, has truly shown the epitome of the Filipinos’ spirit and strength on below video (video post courtesy of Boxs Bou in YouTube). Again, MARAMING, MARAMING SALAMAT PO and may God continue to bless each and everyone of us..
