Challenges will come and go but the Filipinos remain strong

I never realized that for only a day Typhoon Yolanda can do such a big damage to the Philippines. For a day a lot of people's lives,  things,  love ones and homes were taken from them.

It was reported that Typhoon ‘Yolanda,’ one of the strongest typhoons on record struck the Philippines. Weather officials said ‘Yolanda’ had sustained winds of 235 kph (147 mph) with gusts of 275 kph (170 mph) when it made landfall. And it was reported that death toll in the Philippines could reach 10,000.

I am pretty sure, people will be asking why do they have to encounter this? But of course we can't avoid this. But even I keep on thinking, why the Philippines? As we all know that the problem in Cebu and Bohol is not yet finished and then Yolanda and a new Tropical depression called 'Zoraida' came to the picture, why? I can't help but ask why?

But I believe that all of this is just a test, a test of faith to our Lord our Saviour. So we should always trust and remain faithful to God. There will always be challenges in life and we can't avoid it. We have no choice but to face it. It is really a great blessing that many countries have donated to the Philippines for the victims of Yolanda.

Now the question is did the government acted fast? Well perhaps they do or do not. But as reported the Government have already informed the public that a super typhoon would hit the Philippines the day before the landfall. However people did not expect the sudden rise in the water levels.

Last night while watching news, it broke my heart, looking at my fellow Filipinos suffering. Can we recover from this? Of course why not.

But what I realized, eventhough they lose everything, they can still manage to smile. So to all my fellow Filipinos affected, we can do this and we must remain faithful to God. Just like what CNN said eventhough the Philippines was hit by many typhoons, we can still manage to stand again. After all we are Filipinos and that is what we Filipinos must be proud of. So lets continue to pray for the Philippines.

God bless the Philippines.
