LORD, HEAL OUR BROKEN LAND.

What happened last saturday is like one way of our Lord to wake up our souls and open our eyes to let us see that only HIM could save us through calamities like this. I know this is like a heartbreaking thing for us Filipinos, and as for me, this was my very first time to see people suffer like this, not only in one particular area but many areas were affected. What shocked me the most was even URBAN AREAS are affected like Taguig and Pasig. Even celebrities didn't escape from the wrath of nature that occurred last saturday. It was indeed one of the saddest part of existence.

Readers, many people needs our help.
