As I see the massive, unimaginable, heart-wrenching devastation left by super typhoon Yolanda in central Philippines, the first words that flew out of my mouth were “Lord Have Mercy”. In the succeeding days that followed, reports via television and social networks escalated, different opinions (mostly negative) overflowed, which made everything hard to bear. Most of the time, I no longer want to know the updates…
As in every catastrophic incident that happens all over the world, humanitarian ripple effect has again been tested and proven. Countries were sending aid in every which way possible. Donations kept pouring in, volunteers came to help heal and treat the sick, soldiers helped maintain peace and order. The gestures were over-whelming!
As the lyrics of the song “we are all a part of God’s great big family”, the whole world came together as one to lend a helping hand, to help this small nation recover and rebuild. The Filipino people will be forever grateful…
