The damage the two typhoons, Ondoy and Pepeng, did to our country (specifically the island of Luzon) was really devastating, leaving a lot of people homeless and a lot of families grieving for their lost loved ones. The death toll reached almost 300, a stunning number. We are just lucky we were spared from such catastrophe. Our city is considered a typhoon-free city and we only experience strong winds and rain whenever a typhoon hits the northern part of our island because the mountains surrounding the city protect us from the brunt of any storm.
Thinking about what happened to those thousands of people makes me really sad. But I hope those who lost their lives thought of their loved ones ahead of time and acquired whole life insurance. For certain, losing a loved one is really painful, and no amount of money can sooth the grief, but having insurance would at least ease the pain, knowing that they have something to help them move on and rebuild in memory of the one who made sure their loved ones would be protected.
I’ve been praying for all of those affected and hope God will ease their suffering.
I saw this on the news. It was such a sad catastrophe indeed. A lot of lives and properties were washed out by the two storms, not only in the Philippines, but in the neighboring countries as well. :(
Our prayers are with everyone affected by the calamities...
