"Our sincere thanks for your prayers. One of our staff, Dulce Marquez, who lives in Quezon City has shared how the flooding in their house reached the ceiling of their 2nd story home. They were not able to save anything except their lives. Several staff also experienced flooding up to waist level inside their houses. We are thanking God that the staff is all okay. Grateful too that none of our CDP family members have lost their lives.It has been encouraging to see the Filipino bayanihan (community) spirit. Filipinos who were not affected by the flood rushed to the aid of their countrymen. Private citizens volunteered the use of their rubber boats to save those who were stranded in the flood. Some immediately offered foods in relocation sites. Good to see people contributing whatever they can.
We have improved weather now but the flood remains in most areas. Water reservoirs are continuously releasing water. Also, please pray for another typhoon announced to be forming in the Pacific Ocean. Pray that it will change its course and won't visit the Philippines. Thank you for your help."
