“Widespread flooding and landslides have isolated major population centers in northern Luzon, including Baguio, delaying outside help and forcing officials to rely on local resources to rescue and evacuate tens of thousands, many of whom were caught by surprise by the rapidly rising water.” – GMA News

Globe Telecom Inc. will reduce its rates for domestic mobile voice calls on Saturday as it prepares for the onslaught of super typhoon "Pepeng" (international code name Parma). Globe and Touch Mobile (TM) subscribers can call their fellow users at P3 per minute starting 12:01 a.m. on Saturday until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, October 4.
In the past weeks [and until now] our country has been a typhoon magnet causing heavy rains and flashfloods. This design will be an impressive start to prevent hundreds of houses in the metros from sinking and hundreds of people from drowning.

REPOST:
People are now being sent home because:
1. Typhoon Pepeng = Type 5 (same as Katrina)
2. Critical hour = 9pm
3. Winds & rains stronger than Milenyo
4. MM will be hit by tail/body unless it changes its course
5. Meralco will not shut down areas tonight. Meralco will only shut down power in areas affected by floods to prevent accidents.

Typhoon Parma (locally known as Pepeng) which is categorized in storm 4-5 has been observed in the Philippines area and has been forecasted to hit Metro Manila late Friday and Saturday..
Re-posted from ABS-CBN News Dot Com. Here are some ways we can help the victims and casualties of Typhoon Ondoy (international code name Ketsana) which hits the Philippines last Saturday, September 26, 2009.

The disaster brought by Tropical Storm Ketsana or Typhoon "Ondoy" in the Philippines was so depressing. [see some images I grabbed from Atom Araullo and JR Lo's Facebook] "At least 51 people have died and at least 21 others are missing after torrential rains and subsequent flooding" - CNN [as of today].
One of the many proofs that there is no one exceptional when the fury of Mother Nature hits. For those who do not know, Christine Reyes is a known Filipina actress who has starred the reality TV show Starstruck. She is best known on television shows such as Banana Split, Kahit Isang Saglit and Eva Fonda. In the picture, the actress is stranded in her home and she ended up staying on the roof. It took a while before she was rescued.
