Our country, already torn to pieces by corrupt political
situation and whacked by a string of natural calamities has been clobbered once
more by the terrifying supertyphoon.
As of now, it is impossible to assess the damages inflicted
by the passage of the strongest typhoon in the world for this year due to cut
communications and power failure. But basing on the dreadful strength and
magnituide of these supertyphoon, the damage could approach the catastrophic
dimensions, in terms of damage to properties, crops and, God forbid, to human
lives.
This time, we pray to the powers be to refunnel the
mountains of money from the pork barrel to aid the people. Set aside your greed
for wealth for a moment and be human enough to assist the victims of
earthquake, floods and winds. It is also time for the nation to unite and help
with urgency, first, in aiding the
victims and next, in rebuilding the battered nation.
