Pepeng Overshot Manila!

How anti-climactic!

On the bright side, everyone was prepared for the worst this time. Also, the volunteers (and donors) were finally able to take a breath, have that missed meal, take a nap and generally Thank God for all His blessings.

In the span of one week, a floundering third-world country on the brink of total chaos was transformed into a family doing everything in their power to help each other, from buying supplies for donation, to sending cash, to praying. Even with the reports that several politicians and government officials tried to turn the calamity into an electioneering campaign, the private citizens still won in the end.

We're Proud of You, Filipino! Keep it up!
