I was born and raised in Binangonan Rizal Philippines. As you can see on the map above, we are connected with Laguna Lake which makes our area prone to floods. Most of the people here works for the fishing industry including my family. With continued rains for the last two weeks, the lake got larger than usual that caused floods all over our place. I know that our countrymen are doing all that they can to help those in need, I do hope more help will come to my dear hometown.
The aftermath of this flood, I am sure will surpass what happened with “Ondoy” three years ago. All the fish-pen, businesses small or big had been damaged. Let us continue to hold on and watch out for each others safety.
I am extending my personal thank you to our Honorable Mayor Boyet Ynares, her always helpful and smiling daughter Cecille Ynares, my dedicated batch mate Relly Bernardo and all the people who are assisting them up to now. I regret that I cannot come home due to flooded passageways on the way home. I promise to fix the old clothes that I have as soon as I have the chance.
I cannot sleep through this rough event that our country is facing, I hope I am making a difference by blogging these things.
PLEASE fellow Filipinos, this is not the time for blaming, we cannot point our fingers at PAG-ASA for their predictions, we cannot blame the government for not being “that ready” and so on. We cannot stop the rain as badly as we want too. Let us not react too badly on what the media is showing us right now. WE ARE ALL DOING OUR BEST. It is better to know how we can be of help. Again, let us not stop praying as we continue to share blessings and save lives.***
Below are the photos of my dear hometown, Binangonan and Rizalenos, just hang in there.
