First Tropical Depression - Agaton!!

In the start of year 2010, the Philippines were struck by a massive drought brought about by the natural calamity called El NiƱo. Up until now it is still a problem in the country which causes water dams to lose water supply for the people and later then affected the energy supply and stability of major places in the country.

Finally, the year’s first tropical depression, after 3 months of waiting for rains, has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). It was reported that as of 10am of March 25, 2010, the tropical depression, which they call AGATON, was last spotted at around 1,000 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar, Philippines.

According to PAGASA, Agaton is too far to affect any regions of the country and is possible that it might take a detour and will no longer hit the lands which will mean that there will still no rainfalls.

Floating Aftermath (ONDOY)

Weeks and days have passed since the tragic incidents happened. It was just a slow typhoon that passed by but left a huge amount of rain and water in the lands. Flooding all areas high or low places, squatter or village territory. It never wasn't like this before such big amount of water that it entirely drowned all cities it had flooded. Claiming up to the second floor of buildings, overlapping bridges and rolled cars and vehicles, displaced houses to other places. Yes this is nature and its cruel approach to humanities. An amount of 6 months rain was rained and poured hard for just a day. It almost erased cities that it covered.

As it was just the other day that people on there way home walk in wire of the wire post because of the very high level of water on the streets. As cars were wiped and moved away. After the flood comes a super typhoon named "Pepeng" hits the land having the speed of 170 kph. It was just days when all were drowning and here comes a great catastrophe again. Ripping roofs from houses. As it passed the country it came back and did another damage. As if it left something from behind. And soon more typhoons were building and approaching to hit the country lands. They were "QUIMADA" and "RAMIL". And not far enough "MAYON VOLCANO" is said to be in bad condition as it throws more amount of ashes. There was an earthquake not long ago but thank God it was just up to 3-4 intensity.

This is very rate happenings just in months and questions do form in my minds. Are were punished? and asked for our debts and bad practices and doings to mother nature. It caught our attention and soon its more than to this. Nature is showing signs it dosent' choose people. When it attacks all is involved all is fair and equal we all suffer.
