For the people of the Philippines
Posted : 3 Oct, 2009 12:50 AM
This is a message I got from my friend from the Philippines. She goes by Spring. These people need our prayers.
Now the message:
Meanwhile, forecasters said a new storm forming in the Pacific Ocean was likely to enter Philippine waters on Thursday and make landfall later on the northern island of Luzon.
Ketsana dumped more than a month's worth of average rainfall on Manila and surrounding areas in one 24-hour period. About 80 percent of the city of 15 million was flooded.
The Philippine government has come in for scathing criticism for its response, with many calling it inadequate and delayed.
Authorities estimated damage from the storm so far at around 4.69 billion pesos . More than 1.9 million people were affected and 375,000 had abandoned their homes and taken refuge in evacuation centres.
The Philippine death toll could rise further once reports come in from remote areas, disaster officials said.
"For casualties, the increase will be not as great, but the damage figures may increase," Defence Secretary Gilbert Teodoro told a news conference.
Several foreign governments and U.N. agencies have pledged nearly $2 million in rice and relief supplies, Teodoro told reporters, adding he met lawmakers from both houses of Congress to seek emergency funds for rehabilitation work.
The typhoon destroyed more than 180,000 tonnes of Philippine paddy rice, or nearly 3 percent of projected fourth-quarter output, but was unlikely to prompt more imports, a senior government official said.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has called the typhoon "an extreme event that has strained our response capabilities to the limit."
Analysts say the floods have worsened the reputation of Arroyo, who has been accused of corruption and poll fraud, and that it could affect the prospects of Teodoro, the administration candidate, in the May 2010 presidential election."
I am addressing this message to all not only to the Filipinos!
Think about how TYPHOON ONDOY has swept Metro Manila and some part of Luzon in the Philippines. Think/reflect why this thing has to happen in our country...It is it Gods wrath? Is it a wake up call for us? Are we sleeping? Wake up SLEEPERS...sound the alram! Open your eyes and see the outcome of the typhoon...after the flood the areas was left muddy! what does mud symbolizes, it symbolizes dirt!
Many are sick, homeless, no clothings, no work.
My prayer Lord help our Country.
REPENT! You evil doers, stop courruptions...seek God!
2 Chornicles 2:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Proverbs 24:16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again,
but the wicked are brought down by calamity.
God has been calling us, that we should seek, humble ourselves, pray and really pray...seek HIS face...YESHUAH alone.
Lord I humbly come to you save our country...reign over the Philippines and make our country GREAT AGAIN! I cry ABBA FATHER! We need your PRAYERS!
