Caring between classmates are often times neglected.
But maybe, not in times of calamity, like when Ondoy came. "Pagmamalasakit sa bawat isa" shows
I was hesitant to go to school on a Saturday morning, due to heavy rain when a classmates from 1 of my subject called to inform me that part of Sta Mesa near the vicinity of PUP was already flooded. Other classmates also called to ask if classes would push thru. Others would inform that they were stacked on the traffic. 1 classmate even called to inform me that water started to goes in their house.
At last, at 8:30 am, Tin send me a message that classes were suspended.
After learning from the news that many houses were already been submerged, everyone started worrying. I worried not only for my family but also for our relatives, friends, classmates and workmates.
The next day, Sunday was the most difficult day if I may say due to communication problem. It was only on Monday that we get to communicate with the people we are looking for.
After the 5th day, I was so sadden to know that few of my classmates were victimized by Ondoy.
Gilva lost her project for our Rizal class. She lost her assignments to submit.
Joyce, one of my classsmate who is close to me even brought her relatives to an evacuation area.
Thank you Tin and Brian for being with us last Sunday to visit one of our classmate, Joyce TadeƱa.
And for those classmates who were also a victim of Ondoy, my deepest symphathy.
Maybe, for those who would like to help our fellow classmates who were a victim of Ondoy, in our own little way, we could bring something for them and share.
