With all these going on, it boils down to preparedness.
Pinoys are generous, helpful, even resilient. That we cannot deny.

But we cant also deny the fact that these "natural disasters" come and go year after year after year. We simply cant avoid them! And yet what? Thousands, even millions still have to suffer over and over again-- families have been broken, lives forever scarred by the torrential effects of these disasters! What we see on TV, hear on the radio, or read in the papers, weve pretty much encountered the premise of these stories in the past. Weve had calamities come our way, yet we stood our ground.

But must we always have to suffer... this way?

Think of it, if we only have prepared. If our government has a concrete plan or program on right disaster preparedness, accurate information dissemination, things would have been different! I dont think we would be this desperate...

With foreign aid coming our way, we look so dependent. Even helpless. It's such a shame how they can send us help even when theyre not really the main people to be held responsible, and on the other side, most of our officials remain mum and inactive (i heard some are even abroad?). Cmon, how can you sleep at night in your air-conditioned room, comfy king-sized beds, knowing your constituents are out there shelterless and starving.

Proud lang ako sa mga taong tireless sa pagtulong, at yung hopeful pa rin that we Pinoys can do better. Even with so much of these glaring implications. That's Faith! And I dont see anything wrong with saying We Need A Miracle. Soon, please.
