Yes! The story about the Cebu prisoners who gave up a meal for the victims? That was really amazing! That’s very true what your friend said. I hope this isn’t just a one-time-big-time thing. This is definitely something that should be practiced everywhere and every time.

Great post Karla! Despite the mayhem the typhoon created, it also gave us a chance to show our best selves… It’s overwhelming how much compassion and generosity everyone has shown– from big corporations to even people in prison! As a friend of mine put it, “I wish that it doesn’t take another calamity for the Pinoy to once again shine.”

Yes, yes, yes Jonnette! Feel free to spread the word. Thanks to WellWire for being very persuasive this past week to get the word out on Ondoy. It’s really very touching and uplifting indeed.

Responses like these — and articles like this — are what make me proud to be pinoy. Yep, we’re doing just fine.
