Ondoy, the worst typhoon that ever hit the Philippines has gone out of the country. The floods that caused lives of almost 300 should serve as a lesson to the Philippine government.
If no one will learn from the tragedy, then everything would just be wasted: the lives which were lost, the houses buried with mud, the cars which were damaged, etc.
I hope there would be no such typhoon which will hit the country again.
I hope the local government had learned that drainage and sanitation systems are critical issues to be dealt with seriously.
Floods are not new to me. I have experienced such floods that reached up to the second floor of the house when I lived in Malabon. It was a normal occurrence in Malabon almost every year. This time, the floods brought about by Ondoy took the lives of almost 300 Filipinos.
It's really a sad thing for Filipinos to experience this. Ondoy didn't spare my friends in Manila. They were also affected but survived :-)
