Typhoon Ondoy Wreaks Havoc: Victorina not spared
By: Amiel Aguilar Cabanlig
Heavy rains brought on by Typhoon “Ondoy” flooded Metro Manila. Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro was quoted: “These kinds of flash floods in Metro Manila took us all by surprise.” The amount of rain which poured for 12 hours Saturday was equal to that of a month’s of rainfall. 13.4 inches of rain fell on metropolitan
Ondoy’s torrential downpour resulted in the swelling of rivers and creeks to dangerous levels, damaging property, cutting off infrastructure and leaving many Filipinos homeless and killing many others.
Even the Victorina Council was not spared from the fury of the typhoon fury. DJ Mojo Jojo and Grace Lee were on their way to host the Korean-Philippine Friendship Day celebration in
Up to now, most of the districts in the
My good ol' dad took it upon himself to help out friends and relatives trapped by the vicious floods that debilitated most of the greater Metro Manila region. He was able to deploy his military assets where they were most necessary. However, due to the tumult, he was injured and tore his leg and was left bloody, then had to be rushed to the hospital. Despite his condition, my dad called me up the following day to make sure that Atty. Trixie Angles and her family was doing ok.
The stories of death and destruction continue to be broadcasted on the news and now more than ever is the time for each and every one of us to join together to help those in need. Wherever you may be, the Victorina Council urges you to help the victims of Typhoon Ondoy in anyway possible, whether in cash or in kind.

yes, help is badly needed by many. the devastation is so widespread. please spare what you can and send help.
330,000 others displaced after the heaviest rain in more than four decades plunged the Philippine capital into turmoil...this is much worst than Hurricane Katrina
CRISTINE REYES, RICHARD GUTIEREZ and RUFFA are MILKING this tragedy with their STOOPID 'RESCUE' BULL SHIT STORY TWEETS! IT"S BULL SHIT WITH THE JET SKI. RUBBISH!! I WANT PICTURES TO PROVE! THE PICTURE WAS STAGED!!!!! THE WHOLE STORY IS ENTERTAINMENT ON THE BACK OF SUFFERING..... RUFFA...TSK TSK TSK I DO NOT WANT TO HERE ABOUT THESE TRASH CELEBS DURING THIS TIME!!! PUBLICITY WHORES ALL THREE OF THEM. SHAME!!!!
What happened to TRIXIE? I don't get it!!!!
“Nakuha ko na ang anak ko at 7am. Had to go to Provident and snag a Navy boat. But we got him na!”
I agree with Brian... They are making the tragedy showbiz!
What the hell happened to Trixie? Can anyone explain?
You mean Trixie went to Provident Village to save his son? Wow... wonder woman!!!!
from Paul Farol... Could disaster preparedness have prevented the Provident Village Marikina flooding?
JUST LOOKING AT THE MAP OF PROVIDENT VILLAGE, IT IS EASY TO SEE THAT WHAT HAPPENED THERE WAS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
IT IS A SUBDIVISION ON A DELTA.
THE RIVER FLOWS RIGHT TO LEFT, THE NORTHERN MOST PERIMETER WALL PROBABLY FAILED.
BEING A RIVERSIDE AREA, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH EARLY WARNING ALARMS, BOATS, AMPHIBIAN VEHICLES, ETCETERA...
DID THE CITY OF MARIKINA JUST HOLD ITS HOPES ON A FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT?
Friends,
My youngest son visited his grandparents in Provident Village on Friday night. We got the news that the floodwaters were rising by evening. The waters got so high, they inundated the second floor of the house -- about twenty feet deep. My son spent the night on the rooftop in the rain and wind, in the middle of raging floodwaters.
Meanwhile, all military friends sent messages to the NDCC and to the rescue teams deployed to Provident, to make sure that Ronan would be rescued.
Three boats went to save him, but were being waylaid by others who needed rescuing too. So I went to Provident and found a Navy officer who very kindly allowed me to get on a boat to get my son. On the way, we could not ignore the cries of others who needed help. We prioritized babies, one as young as eight months old. After several stops, we got Ronan, his lolo (who is an invalid) and his lola, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Go Navy!

anu ba talaga?
Your job as a future mother is to learn the god's ways and to help your child understand despite the negative reinforcement and conditioning of today's society. Without consciousous parents the child will have no hope, and may even exaserbate their disfavor by becoming corrupted in today's environment.
Your ultimate goal is to fix your relationship wiith the gods and move on. You don't want to be comfortable here, and the changes in Western society in the last 100 years has achieved just that.
1000 years with Jesus is the consolation prize. Don't be deceived into thinking that is the goal.
Much like the other prophets Mohhamed (polygamy/superiority over women/misogyny) and Jesus (forgiveness/savior), the gods use me for temptation as well. In today's modern society they feel people are most weak for popular culture/sensationalism, and the clues date back to WorldWarII and Unit731:TSUSHOGO, the Chinese Holocaust. They used this Situation to bury Japanese atrocities.
It has been discussed that, similar to the Matrix concept, the gods will offer a REAL "Second Coming of Christ", while the "fake" Second Coming will come at the end and follow New Testiment scripture and their xtian positioning. I may be that real Second Coming.
What I teach is the god's true way. It is what is expected of people, and only those who follow this truth will be eligible to ascend into heaven as children in a future life. They offered this event because the masses have just enough time to work on and fix their relationship with the gods and ascend, to move and grow past Planet Earth, before the obligatory xtian "consolation prize" of "1000 years with Jesus on Earth" begins.
The Prince of Darkness, battling the gods over the souls of the Damned.
It is the gods who have created this environment and led people into Damnation with temptation. The god's positioning proves they work to prevent people's understanding.
How often is xtian dogma wrong? Expect it is about the Lucifer issue as well.
The fallen god, fighting for justice for the disfavored, banished to Earth as the fallen angel?
I believe much as the Noah's Flood event, the end of the world will be initiated by revelry among the people. It will be positioned to be sanctioned by the gods and led for "1000 years with Jesus on Earth".
In light of modern developments this can entail many pleasures:::Medicine "cures" aging, the "manufacture" of incredible beauty via cloning as sex slaves, free (synthetic) cocaine, etc.
Somewhere during the 1000 years the party will start to "die off", literally. Only those who maintain chaste, pure lifestyles, resisting these temptations, will survive the 1000 years. Condemned to experience another epoch of planet's history for their ignorant pursuit of xtianity, they will be the candidates used to (re)colonize (the next) Planet Earth, condemned to relive the misery experienced by the peasantry during history due to their failure to ascend into heaven before the Apocalypse.
Never forget:::It is not a house of Jesus.
If this concept of Lucifer is true another role of this individual may be to initiate disfavor and temptation among this new poulation, the proverbial "apple" of this Garden of Eden. A crucial figure in the history of any planet, he begins the process of deterioration and decay that leads civilizations to where Planet Earth remains today.
Which one is it?:
One transitions into the other, allowing the gods to wash their hands of obligation to their Chosen One. My personal "consolation prize".
And since the gods never committed despite tens of billions in mass media, product development and natural disasters/tragedy they will employ the freedom they positioned into the Situation and CHEAT me out of everything.
The gods are control freaks.
So much for self-determination.
