We’ve all seen or heard of the calamity that befell the Phillipines. The devastation caused by the typhoon and floods has left many dead with many more needing help and support. If you have not heard, bellow is a snipet of the sad news. Please take a moment to look over my friend Ian del Carmen who is doing a flood sell to help the victims.

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine officials say the number of dead and missing from Tropical Storm Ketsana has climbed to at least 106 people. The storm set off the worst flooding in the Philippine capital and nearby provinces in more than 42 years. Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said Sunday that army troops, police and civilian volunteers rescued more than 5,000 people — many of them nervously clinging to each other on roofs and on top of passenger buses after the storm struck the previous day. The newly reported deaths included 12 villagers who died in a landslide in northern Pampanga province and nine others in Bulacan province, most of whom died by drowning. Also, an army soldier and four militiamen drowned while trying to rescue villagers in southern Laguna province. Rescuers plucked bodies from muddy floodwaters and scrambled to save drenched survivors on rooftops Sunday after a tropical storm tore through the northern Philippines and left 75 people dead or missing in the region’s worst flooding in more than four decades. Thank you for your help and support. Zulfikar
