Acknowledgment

(This is what remains of a concrete two-storey house during typhoon Reming in Tabaco, albay)

About four (4) years ago one of the most devastating typhoon in Philippine history struck Albay. Tabaco was basically cut-off from the entire country. Unknown to many there were government employees who, while on official business, were trapped in Tabaco, Albay. The couldn't have survived the havoc if not for the help extended by their fellow government workers, whose families were also facing dangers. Despite the dangers, they helped each other to survive and with the help of good Samaritans along the way, they climbed the mountains until they reached Legaspi City where they boarded a bus going back to Manila.

This blog is dedicated to the men and women in Albay, specifically in Tobaco, within and without the government, who helped them escape death and to the many who lost their love ones. It is in survival that we unite, in danger that we gather strenght, in fear that we gather courage and in faith that we survive. This Blog is humbly dedicated. We have to move on . . .
