Sendong brought Bloody Christmas

Very Tragic. Very Sad. Filipinos are mourning for those who died during the typhoon Sendong. There’s no way those victims can happily celebrate their Christmas this year. They considered their Christmas as “bloody Christmas”. Over 1000 people have already been declared dead due to the wrath of typhoon Sendong that struck in the Visayas and Mindanao areas in the Philippines. The most affected areas are in Cagayan de Oro, Iligan City and Dumaguete City. Bodies that have been found were already brought to their families and buried.  A mass burial was conducted for those bodies that were unidentified. Thousands are still missing until now. Some bodies were found floating at the sea.

Houses were swept away by the strong floods; bridges were destroyed; and families became hopeless as days go by without any news if their other family members are still alive. 

Thousands of survivors are still struggling in the evacuation centres because of lack of food, water, medicine, blankets and other necessities. Children are starting to get sick because of the poor sanitation in the evacuation centre.

Government officials and agencies are already doing their best to help those victims. If you want to help them please do so. Let’s rebuild their hope by helping them and offering prayers for them.

Below are the sites on how to make donations:

(Photo: My current location using Google Maps in my phone)


Article 1 in the 1987 Philippine Constitution defines the National Territory of the Philippines
"The national territory comprises the Philippine archipelago, with all the islands and waters embraced therein, and all other territories over which the Philippines has sovereignty or jurisdiction, consisting of its terrestrial, fluvial and aerial domains, including its territorial sea, the seabed, the subsoil, the insular shelves, and other submarine areas. The waters around, between, and connecting the islands of the archipelago, regardless of their breadth and dimensions, from part of the internal waters of the Philippines."

The Constitution clearly defines what consist in the Philippine archipelago. All in all there are 7,107 islands in the Philippines and it is divided into three island groups: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. 

One of the captivating features in the Philippines is its tropical rainforests that covers most of its mountainous areas.  It is a home of various species of birds, plants, and other land creatures. Its bodies of waters are also extensive that it produces diverse and unique marine life. There many beautiful coral reefs and different species of fish that can be found in the Philippines.
