Bagyong Ondoy: Sino ang dapat sisihin sa sakunang naranasan ng mga kababayan natin?  

Posted by Grace Labado-Orzal in , ,


Masasabing grabe talaga ang nangyari noong nakaraang sabado at linggo ika-26 at 27 ng Setyembre 2009. Magdamag na nag-uulan noong gabi ng Sabado, ika-26 ng Setyembre. Sinasabing noong araw na yun umulan ng katumbas ng isang buwan. Isang araw na di malilimutan dahil ito ay kumitil ng mahigit 200 katao at marami pa ang hindi natatagpuan.

Tinawag ang bagyong ito na bagyong ondoy, sinasabing napakatagal na panahon na noong nangyari ang ganitong pag-ulan. Hindi lubos maisip ng lahat na magagawang palubugin ng bagyong ondoy kahit ang matataas na lugar. Wala talagang pinatawad ang bagyong ondoy, mayaman man o mahirap, maganda man ang bahay mo o isang simpleng barong barong lang. Nakakalungkot, nakakapanglumo. Hindi man kami naapektuhan dito sa lugar namin nakakabigat pa din talaga ng kalooban.

Sino nga ba talaga ang dapat sisihin sa pagbahang ito? Mayroon nga bang dapat sisihin? O talagang ganti ito ng kalikasan sa lahat ng kababuyan natin at pagdudumi natin sa ating paligid?

Maaring nating sabihin na nagkaroon ng matinding pagbaha dahil sa mga basurang ikinalat natin. Mga basurang itinatapon natin sa ilog, lawa o sapa. Mga maliliit na balat ng kendi na bumara sa kanal at na ipon ng napakatagal. Libo-libong basura na tayo din ang may gawa. Na naging sanhi ng pag-apaw ng mga ilog at di pagdaloy ng tubig.

Sinasabing kaya nagkaroon ng ganun katinding pagbaha ay dahil sa biglaang pagpapalabas ng tubig sa iba't ibang Dam nandyan na ang Anggat Dam, La Mesa Dam at iba pa. Naisip ko lang bakit hindi naglabas ng paunti unting tubig ang dam noong mga oras na mahina pa lang ang ulan o nag-uumpisa pa lang ang ulan? Bakit hindi naisip ng mga nagbabantay dun na maaring matagal pa bago matapos ang pag-ulan at may possibility na talagang umapaw ang mga dam? At bakit bigla nilang pinakawalan ang tubig sa dam? Napakaraming tanong sa isip ko na di ko alam kung masasagot ngayon. Pero, naisip ko din dapat nung una palang naisip na nila yung mga posibilidad na mangyayari. Kayo naisip niyo ba yun?

Mapapanood natin ngayon ang lahat ng resulta ng bagyong ondoy. Mababasa natin lahat ng mga naganap kahit saang parte ka ng Pilipinas at kahit saang parte ka pa ng mundo naroon. At sa tuwing nakikita ko yung mga taong namatay dahil sa sinusubukan nilang makaligtas but, unfortunately di sila nakaligtas. Napakaraming bata ang ngayon ay walang masilungan, walang masuot at maari rin naman ng wala ng magulang o kaya'y nawawala pa sa kasalukuyan. Mga matatanda na may karamdaman na sobrang nahirapan sa nasabing bagyo.

Ang tanging magagawa natin ngayon ay ang tumulong at ipagdasal ang kanilang kaligtasan. Lalo na ngayon na may dumating na naman na bagong bagyo si Bagyong Pepeng at sinsabing meron pang isa. Sana lang hindi na maulit yung nangyari nung nakaraan. Tama na ang isang beses na sakuna. Tama na ang mahigit 200 namatay at tama na ang mga putik na tumabon sa napakaraming bahay.

Tumulong tayong lahat. Kailangan ng mga taong nasalanta ni bagyong Ondoy ang tulong natin. Sa simpleng bagay makakatulong tayo. Damit, konting pagkain, mga kumot at iba pang mga magagamit ng mga taong nasalanta. Napakaraming nagugutom at isipin natin ang mga taong nasa evacuation center.

Magkaisa tayong lahat. At huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Matuto tayong maglakad pasulong at huwag paatras. Harapin natin ang bukas ng may ngiti sa puso at isip. Lagi natin isipin na mayroon tayong Amang nasa Langit na nagmamahal sa atin at patuloy Niya tayong binabantayan at gabayan.

Let us all pause and pray. Thank Our Heavenly Father that we are still alive and we still have our loved ones beside us. And for those who lost their loved ones, Condolence but a death doesn't mean everything should STOP. Just move forward and pray and be thankful.

Survivor Philippines Palau: Tara, Marlon's Girl Version
Tara, an English Tutor is like Marlon from the first Survivor Philippines. Why did I say so?

Well, I just notice every moves that she's doing. With the make faces and the smile and also the pagtataray. Its some what annoying because when Justine was voted off to the first tribal council, she smiles a smile with lots of meaning.

I will be watching Tara, what are the next plan.

Survivor Philippines Palau
just had its first tribal council.

Secrets have been revealed and as time goes by we are seeing the attitude of each castaways.

Survivor Philippines Palau: 1st Tribal Council Justine
At the tribal council, it was revealed that Justine "the beauty queen" is a gay. I was shocked because I haven't notice that she's a gay. Aside from being a gay, Justine was the first castaway that was voted off.

Even if, she's a gay I can say that she really is so beautiful! She doesn't have any trace that she's a guy before.

Aside from the tribal council, I think there's a twist on Monday. Let us all watch and see what will happen.

Survivor Philippines! Go!

Survivor Philippines Palau: Day 3

Immunity challenge begins. Airai wins the challenge again!


I can see that Airai has lots of strategies to work on with and their tribe is really strong. Because they won, they are given a chance to choose from the other tribe (Koror) whom to save for the tribal council. And they chose "Mommy Carol", which makes the Koror tribe became more disappointed.

Airai also chose to get the crane instead of giving it to the Koror tribe.

Go! Go! Airai!..

Good Luck to all the castaways!...

Resibo sa Jeepney.. Ano ang masasabi niyo?  

Posted by Grace Labado-Orzal in ,


Balitang balita kahapon na balak ng LTFRB na magbigay ng resibo ang jeepney. Ano ang masasabi niyo dito?

Kung ako ang tatanungin niyo, palagay ko hindi na dapat pa na magbigay ng resibo ang mga driver ng jeepney. Kung iisipin napakalaking abala nito sa kanila. Hindi naman kasi yan tulad ng mga bus na may konduktor. Pwede ninyong sabihin na may mga backride naman sila. Pero sapalagay niyo makatarungan sa kanila yan?

Nagre-renew naman sila taon taon so ibig sabihin nagbabayad pa din sila ng buwis kahit papaano di ba? Tsaka aanhin ba ng pamahalaan ang napakaraming buwis? Para gastusin ito sa pagkain nila sa tuwing nasa ibang bansa sila? Para makapunta sila sa iba't ibang bansa? Para i-provide sila ng mamahaling sasakyan? Para ba talaga ito sa bayan o para lang sa pansariling kapakanan?

Hay, napakarami nga talagang problema ng bansa mula Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao. Sana naman huwag lang ang mga motorista ang pag-initan nila ng ganyan.

Sana mag-isip sila kung ano pa ba ang makakatulong sa bansa natin.

Breastfeeding an Eight Year Old Daughter  

Posted by Grace Labado-Orzal in


I am looking for some interesting news to be published on my blog. And upon searching, I found this news about a mom who is breastfeeding her eight year old daughter. It was aired year 2006 on a British documentary called Extraordinary Breastfeeding.

I am not against of breastfeeding, my mom used to breastfeed my younger brothers and sister when they were young but not until they reach the age of eight. My mom stopped breastfeeding when my younger brothers and sister reaches the age of 2.

The human body biologically expects to breastfeed for up to about seven years of age ~ the universal age for losing the milk teeth. There is so much anthropological and scientific evidence to show that this is what our body needs and expects, regardless of the culture, climate, race or status we are born into.

Up to seven years of age? Oh my, I can't imagine those kids who already have their milk teeth. I think its ok to feed your kids with milk but there are lots of ways not to breastfeed them up to the age of seven. As I remember, when a baby reached the age of 1 they are starting to bite and my moms breast usually bitten by my younger brother at the age of 7 months.

Here's the clip for the Mom who is breastfeeding her eight year old daughter:
