Panic Buying After Ondoy and Before Pepeng
October 2nd, 2009 1 Comment
Hi, readers!
Shot this video a couple of days ago while doing the groceries with the wifey. This one’s in Landmark, Makati. Notice how the aisles are gone due to panic buying. First to go were the canned goods, noodles, rice, mineral water and the candles.
Remember, DO NOT OVERSHOP. There’s a thin line with “preparing” and buying uber-more than you need.
Feel free to repost, retweet and pass to your friends. The same video is also posted at my Facebook Wall.

The coming typhoon, (international name Parma) locally called Pepeng is upon our country. CCN calls it a Super Typhoon, a category 5… one of the strongest ever. “The storm was upgraded to a super typhoon Thursday as it churned towards the island nation with winds of 240 kph (150 mph). The storm was about 600 miles (965 km) southeast of Manila, the Philippines’ capital on Thursday afternoon” reports CNN
Pepeng comes at the heels of the devastation wrought by the record-breaking rainfall of typhoon Ondoy which left around 70% of Metro Manila inundated. With expected landfall by Friday or Saturday, I’d like to share with you what you can do to prepare.

Baseco Charity Event Cancelled Until Further Notice
September 29th, 2009 No Comments
Typhoon Ondoy wrecked havoc to Luzon on the day of my birth. September 26, 2009. This was also supposed to be the day that me and my friends go out to Baseco, Tondo to throw a small party to 100 children there and distribute donations of cash and in-kind from pledges here and abroad.
I regret to say that this event is cancelled indefinitely. All the monetary donations and those in-kind are with me for safe-keeping.
Ondoy: The Aftermath
September 28th, 2009 5 Comments
I will never forget this date. And yes, it’s my birthday too.
On this day, September 26, 2009, typhoon Ondoy left the Metro and nearby areas in a state of calamity. Bringing about rainfall equal to a month’s worth in just 6 hours, the highest since 1967, Ondoy left many parts of Metro Manila under water. The major rivers overflowed. Hardest hit were the cities of Marikina, Pasig and Cainta.
Hundreds were stranded and scores died as the flood waters devoured entire homes, villages and ate cars like a hungry behemoth.
