When Manila experienced the most deluge in memory or history ...
When most lost their homes and family members and possessions ...
When a huge population got isolated or stranded or hungry for several hours before help finally came ...
When all hope seemed lost and the government was nowhere to be seen until things settled down...
We stood together.
When everything that floated served as a lifesaver for some...
When neighbors opened up their second floors and roofs for others...
When corporations and businesses contributed huge sums of money for rebuilding...
Our nation stood together.
I've never seen a race more resilient. And I'm sickeningly proud to be a Filipino.
