Last June 21, our province was hit by a typhoon lasting to more than 17 hours and brought about so many hundreds of deaths in our province alone (a passenger vessel sunk in another part of the country), hundreds still missing and thousands homeless. These are scenes I was able to take shots of.

So sorry for the blurry shots 'cause I was inside the car when I took these pictures.

One thing I admire Filipinos for they can still laugh even at such a tragic state...take a look at the guy on the left side please...some were shouting "Here! Here!". :)

Thank you very much, Svet! One of the reasons why I was not able to visit FT for a while. I got a little depressed by just listening to the radio (no television for about a week) and I also helped clean up my mother's house which was affected by the flash flood. Water inside the house reached more than 6 ft. judging from the water mark.

I guess it's because I know how to entertain myself when I start to get depressed so I only get a little...Thanks for your concern. Just a small part of the city was spared and it included where I lived.
