I was all so ready for this year’s Christmas celebration. This would be the first time I’ll be spending the holidays with Big Sis and family since the pandemic happened.
I WAS all so ready for this year’s Christmas celebration. This would be the first time I’ll be spending the holidays with Big Sis and family since the pandemic happened. Then Typhoon Odette unleashed her fury in many parts of the Visayas and Mindanao, even affecting some parts of Palawan. What incredible damage this typhoon has wrought on so many cities, smashing homes, killing people, and downing so many utilities.
Aside from these, the survivors also need blankets, clothing, toiletries, new underwear, wood planks or G.I. roofing, tarps or tents, hammers and nails, and other materials that can help them build temporary shelters. Let’s not wait for government to take care of us. We have to take care of each other.
My prayers go out not only to those who have been affected by the typhoon, but also to the relief organizations and their staff, and transport operators who are helping bring our donations to Odette survivors.
As a personal wish, I want to just wake up one morning without having to think about any obligations I need to meet. Just to wake up knowing that I have the whole day to myself and what I want to do. It’s as simple as that.I wish the Philippines would achieve herd immunity and a successful booster rollout by the first half of 2022. This milestone would allow the economy to remain open and expand during the year. BDO forecasts the gross domestic product to grow by 6.
May our work and that of our children continue to be blessed! May our people choose wisely our next set of leaders in the coming elections. Truly, we want a better country for our apos.
