Over two years ago, we experienced heart-breaking losses in our individual lives with the onslaught of "Sendong". It left us all kagay-anons scars - especially those greatly devastated by the said typhoon - that are not curable by magic creams or even by Dr. Vicky Belo!
Through the damage brought by the ranked 4th Deadliest Typhoon to ever make landfall in recorded history, we saw a vision of the houses we grew up in, covered in mud, family pictures and other manifestations of beautiful memories beyond repair, we remembered the sight of parents holding the lifeless bodies of their children, drenched in fear and regret in the circumstance.
The sight of the "Sendong", international name "Washi" evoked images and emotions so familiar to our own experiences that it puzzled a lot of us; it begged several questions of accountability.
Typhoon "Sendong", international name "Washi" claimed the lives of many, took the homes along with their means of living and opened our eyes to the effects of climate change in a global scale.
