Tropical Storm Ketsana (Philippine Codename: Ondoy) has ravaged 80 percent of Metro Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga and other provinces.
The worse hit areas were Marikina, Pasig, Cainta, San Mateo, Parts of QC like Bagong Silangan and parts of Visayas Avenue, Philcoa and the like.
According to the NDCC, there were at least 290 people dead and the death toll is rising. The footages that were taken by ABS-CBN's camera crews were the poster videos of the destruction Ketsana has made, especially the one shot in the Tumana bridge in Markina.
Now, after the devastation comes the aftermath, the rescue and the relief efforts.
We urge the people to help and donate what you have, Volunteer in efforts made by the Government and the NGO's like Sagip Kapamilya. I wanted to go to the efforts of Sagip, but because of the sheer volume of the volunteers. I decided to go in an another time.
We also urge the presidentiables and all other politicos gunning for 2010 elections to stop political ambitions first and help our kababayans in need.
To sum up, We need each other, let us stop all our bickering, our excessive muckraking and even our personal hatred to help in the rebuilding of our country.

Meanwhile, while Ondoy was devastated by the floods in the Marikina Area, SM City Marikina, the first venue of Heronation, was not spared
The floods have affected the basement parking area, where it was going to be held.
As of press time, I received news that there is now negotiations for a new venue and a new date.
Well, they were stricken when they saw pictures of the floods in Marikina by their Parent network.
Because SM City Marikina is now a no safe haven now for a person, otaku or not.
