40% of the office population has been affected by typhoon Ondoy. To do our share, we gave out old collection clothes to the victims. The Rosario Sports Arena was filled with mud covered victims seeking refuge from the flood and rains. Different vans and trucks parked at the facade offering relief goods from food to clothes, including ours. We also did rounds to check out the villages in ortigas extension with the emergency van for trapped victims. Riverside, De Castro and Floodway areas were flooded almost 2 storey high. Residents get alarmed whenever they hear engine sounds hoping it is the rescue team or a truck of food supply. Day 2 we revisited the areas in great need of clothing supply. Not much has changed physically but some residents are rebuilding their lives and started to make a living. A week passed but some areas are still flooded. Our team will continue to give out relief goods in different Barrangays until this catastrophe is over. I just don't know how these people would ever recover for the 3 more typhoons to come...
