As many of you already know, Metro Manila and nearby provinces have been badly hit by typhoon Ondoy (international code name: Ketsana) over the weekend. It is estimated that more than eighty percent of the metropolis was flooded during the height of the storm and several areas (Marikina, Pasig and Rizal) are still under water as I post this article. Many lives were lost and thousands are needing our help.
