With the nearing of Pepeng (a.k.a. Parma), areas that were affected by Ondoy (a.k.a. Ketsana) are bracing for more rain and possibly floods again. The important stuff which were placed on secure and high mounts were not enough against the deep floods that struck last weekend.

Be prepared and be ready – that’s what each of us need to be. Let us also pray and ask god’s protection and mercy to be upon us.
