my province

This global warming did not spare my province Surigao del norte ,  weeks ago I have learned that, my home town was affected by the bad weather this days, it continued to rain endlessly for a week and the rivers beneath the mountains and small creeks overflows and it flooded the rice fields and some root crops farms, that soon to be harvested within the following month, the source of our very basic staple food.  My town folks were so sad and disappointed for the coming harvest, tendency is they would never recover the expenses they have incurred during the preparation of the fields in terms of fertilizer, hired personnel. And the worst thing, most of them, just borrowed money from the banks or lenders with big interest. Much more the daily need of rice would be a problem. It’s a sad thing, when the basic need would be deprived, your physically and emotionally be affected, the whole family especially if it is the only source of income.

Sometimes problems and disappointment in our life comes in unexpectedly, it lowers our emotional esteem and aspiration.  We tend to question for everything that is happening. The more it becomes complicated.  But I guess most Filipinos are great survivors in any calamity they always find ways and means to be victor in any situation.  I believe with so much faith to our almighty always believing  as one of the trials in life, one could heartily pray asking for more blessings and do our best in return.
