Pray for Philippines: ONDOY TRAGEDY

Philippines has been devastated by Typhoon Ondoy, much like New Orleans was devastated by Katrina. Manila and the surrounding areas hasn't been hit this hard in over 40 years. Most of the city, consisting of 15- to 18 million people is under water.

I have friends in the Philippines, and I am still waiting to hear if they are safe. :-(

God bless our brothers and sisters in Philippines. I post this blog in hopes that anyone who is in a position to help may do so. I have been blessed in my life, and I will continue to pay it forward.

Comment by Judy on September 29, 2009 at 15:56: He's fine. He just contacted me. Here's parts of his response:

I was just fortunate that I dodged it by almost half a day. Friday night, I was in transit en route from Manila to my hometown,
-and-
As of this writing, I'm about to travel back to Manila.

Comment by Randy Renier Espinoza on September 29, 2009 at 15:54: Guys, thank you very much for the concern. I'm really overwhelmed.

Comment by Veronica Kubat on September 29, 2009 at 14:57: I had emailed Randy asking if he was okay.

He just emailed me back saying, "What do you mean? Are the jobs okay?"

Which means either I don't know my world geography (which I don't) or he's not been affected by the storm.

Either way, it sounds like he's fine.

Comment by Veronica Kubat on September 29, 2009 at 12:11: I don't think he contacted me after the tragedy hit. I think it was before, so I don't know if he's okay or not. I'm extremely concerned. I have not heard today yet. I don't know where he is exactly, but it doesn't sound good.
