Moving On with BAYANIHAN

The "bayanihan" spirit resurfaces anew among us Filipinos in the wake of the unexpected rains, flooding, deaths and devastation wrought by typhoon "Ondoy."

Time for moving on. Bayanihan to the rescue!

* * *

Likewise, the United Nations and the international community respond to the calamity by offering financial aid and other forms of assistance.

Hooray to the brotherhood of men and global assistance in time of need!

The DepEd and CHEd suspend classes till Saturday in Metro Manila and nearby provinces ravaged by "Ondoy" to make schools available for temporary evacuation/relocation and encouarage students to help in relief efforts.

Assignment for the week is Rescue and Bayanihan 101.

* * *

President GMA orders government agencies and calls on various sectors for coordinated action in relief assistance and clearing operations.

Help and share first. Walang turuan, walang sissihan, saka na lang!

* * *

Concerned organizations, including the Manila Bulletin and its Chairman Don Emilio T. Yap who donated P2 million, launch fund drives for the victims of "Ondoy."

Time for concern and generosity. Let's all give our support.

* * *

The nation exhorts the heroism shown by ordinary folks, concerned leaders and celebrities who tried to extend help to their friends and kababayans during and after the calamity.

May their sincerity be remembered and may their tribe increase.

* * *

The "Ondoy" calamity dramatizes the need for disaster preparedness from the barangay/community to the national level and for general concern against forest/environmental destruction, global warming and climate change.

God's wake up call. Henceforth, no more contributory neglect nor indiference!
