Typhoon Ondoy is a typhoon tragedy that hit Metro Manila and other neighboring cities of the Region. This happening is not just an ordinary typhoon because it ruins thousands of properties and hundreds of deaths to some of the Filipino residents in Manila.
Who’s to blame?
With the wrath of the typhoon, we always think why is this happening? Who’s to blame and responsible for this? I think the only person to blame will be our selves because of our way of life, the way we manage our discipline for nature, the way how we neglected the care for the environment. I believe that some people care for the Mother Nature but most of us just don’t care for it, and so, the effect has just happened. The unstoppable floods spread over the resident houses, slum areas and subdivisions in Metro Manila. With this adversity, we cannot sense the level of life, there is no more rich and poor when in the midst of survival and crisis.
Learning and a Challenge
As a Filipino, I think, we will set this as our learning and we will still thank God that he give us the chance to rebuild and renew what we lack to do our part for our mother earth. This is our challenge to reflect, plan and execute what are the best things to do not just for our own self but for others too.
Government and Everyone’s Role
I hope the government will also initiate the change for the good of everyone and nature, not just to ride with the change for personal fame and interest. I hope, all Filipinos will contribute how we can improve the Philippines and instill in the minds of everyone the beauty of the Philippines if we care about it.
Some Steps
Metro Manila is already very crowded in terms of population. Filipinos should spread all over the Philippines and start to develop the provinces. Manage the 3 major Philippine groups of islands the Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Mindanao should stop from fighting each other between Christians and Muslims where Muslims fight for their right to claim Mindanao as a separate entity of the Philippines. Let’s start to stop that right and way thinking, this is the time to be united.
Let’s help each other now, let’s rebuild what we lost and learn from things we cannot do anything but move on.
The common and future disasters of the Philippines
We as individual Filipino citizens should promote how we can prevent and defend ourselves in times of calamities and future disasters that will strike our country in any time. The common and future disasters that we should be prepared at anytime are the strong typhoons, land slides, floods, earth quake and possible tidal waves.
How do we prepare for it, I think preparations and solutions are not done with just a blink of an eye. It will change from generations to generations therefore; it will start from our selves and how we discipline our selves to do things according to our conscience. Our conscience and wisdom will instruct us that we are doing the things right.
God’s commandment
God said “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.”
We should love God and all his creations such as our Mother Nature and human nature as our neighbor which simply reflects by loving our self.
