The Homeland of My Roots Destroyed.

Typhoon Utor strkes the Philippine Islands, causing great destruction. About 80,000 people have had to evacuate their homes for the water level was as high as their roofs. Utor hit many islands of the Philippines; the province of San Jose (which is 250km from the capital of Manila), Tacloban city, Capiz province, and the eastern Bicol region were one of the many places on the list. About 4 children were reported dead, and 3 of them injured (according to the article).



My Views
- I want to present the fact that my family has been affected by this disaster. My Lola Levi and Ate (ah-teh) Christine, my dad's mother and younger sister), lives in the city of Marikina, which was destroyed by the water damage. My family here in New York and in California have been trying to get in contact with someone who knows of their wherabouts for the past week. They're in my hearts, along with my other family members or family friends who have been hit by this. To everyone that's also been affected by the disaster, my prayers are with you.

  1. I like the way that you put your heart into this. When I read this, i felt your loss of your family/family friend members. You put up a video, in which I like because it gives proof, images on what happened.
