Service office head namin sa tacloban died with his whole family.

40% of our employees in tacloban still unaccounted. Hopefully mga buhay pa sila.

Our HRD is looking for volunteers na ipadala sa leyte.

I just contacted my parents in central Negros. They are okay. Aside from the fallen trees, and usual typhoon damage (signal number 3), the roof of our motorpool was blown away. Cellular signal is scratchy pa, and electricity was just restored last night.

Thank God our house and garage withstood the onslaught.

The images I see online though are horrifying.

^^ that's good news.

if the government used the term TSUNAMI to warn people before the typhoon hit siguro hindi ganun kadami namatay

the govt kept using the term STORM SURGE but it doesnt have the pyschological impact of TSUNAMI

takot ang tao sa tsunami hindi sa storm surge

MANILA - Super typhoon Yolanda has sent home Chinese maritime and Navy vessels at the Ayungin Reef in Palawan, while the half a dozen Philippine Marines on board a rusting and grounded World War II-era ship are safe, a source told InterAksyon.com.

This effectively ends the standoff between the two countries some 100 nautical miles from the island of Palawan.

Ayungin is part of the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG) in the West Philippine Sea (WPS). China claims the reef is part of its territory, more than a thousand nautical miles from its nearest 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

“They’re safe,” said a senior officer of the Philippine Marines guarding the reef on board the shipwreck BRP Sierra Madre (Landing Ship Tank 57). The Philippine Marine official requested that he not be named because he is not authorized to give any statement regarding operational activities in the West Philippine Sea.

“Hindi naman sila naanod (They were not washed away),” the source added.

The source said the Chinese Navy ship, maritime ships, and fishing vessels left Ayungin two or three days before Yolanda struck the country.

“As of now, we’ve no report that the Chinese ships have returned to Ayungin. Dahil siguro may paparating na naman na isa pang bagyo (Maybe because another storm is approaching the country),” he said.

In June this year, Chinese vessels entered Ayungin and had maintained a presence in the area, as what they did in Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal located in Masinloc, Zambales in April 2012.

The territorial dispute between the two countries is being heard by an international arbitration court in Hamburg.

De Lima sees difficulty in enforcing law vs looters in Yolanda-hit areas | Inquirer News

This mader packer De Lima really has ways into getting into the news everyday. Kahit ano pinapasok so as she get's into the news na lang araw-araw pati sabado , linggo or holidays. The obvious is this mother of pork is running come 2013.:evil:

Now all of a sudden she come's up with an excuse., what happen to the rule of law where let the ax fall to those who are guilty. It's just like she directly say, legal ang looting, since she cannot apply the law. Putek na baboy itong si De Lima.

^ empathy daw with the victims.

Kanina while driving to work may live reporter sa tacloban outside a store na may mga bigas pa sa loob. May 5 SAF daw na naka bantay pero andami ng nakapaligid na gusto rumansak dun sa tindahan. Scary scene daw talaga.

Im thinking what if meron din may baril dun sa nakapaligid? Chaotic talaga.

Still can you blame them? Nawalan ka ng bahay at ari-arian, namatayan ka pa ng mahal sa buhay tapos gutom na gutom ka pa.

Temporary anarchy. That happens. Kahit sa New Orleans during the aftermath of Katrina, it happened. Kaya pumasok na yung National Guard. It will subside when the government gets a grip of the total situation.

looting food items are understandable... pero nakita mo nman mga looters sa Gaisano.... pagnanakaw na talaga. appliances, strollers, etc. i even saw on TV a group carting away with the chest freezer (not a freezer for sale but the one used to contain the frozen goods for sale). and proud pa on national TV!
