This weather gives me anxiety. It reminded me of the devastating flash flood caused by typhoon ‘ondoy’. I have seen people got locked up trying to break their own windows and heard people screaming for help until you hear them no more. Some drowned and some like me were able to swim fast whilst assisting my precious little nieces, little sister and my mom. We all climbed up on the roof with baby snakes and rats dangling on my/our body. It was horrible and traumatic.”

“In times like this.. when you have no control of things around you. There’s only one thing I consistently do. I speak to HIM. Bihira ako manalangin pero naiiyak ako kasi kahit minsan lang ako lumapit palagi Siyang andyan. Palagi Niya akong sinasamahan. Siya talaga ang sandalan nating lahat,” she added.
