Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)

Typhoon Ondoy
Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) was the 15th tropical storm to hit the country this year. As of today, typhoon Ondoy is moving out of the Philippine area of responsibility towards the South China Sea. Below are videos of the rage of typhoon Ondoy:


A lot of concerned citizens are extending their help to those who are still in dire need. Even Hollywood stars like Demi Moore and Josh Groban had tweeted calling on to their fellow Americans to help the victims of typhoon Ondoy.

The Philippine government have been bombarded with so much complaints and criticisms from angry citizens who are greatly affected by the flash floods saying the government agencies were not well prepared and had been very slow in their rescue operations.
The weather bureau said Ketsana brought the heaviest rainfall in the country in 40 years. About 410 mm of rain fell in 24 hours on Saturday, twice the amount that drenched the United States during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
But in the midst of tragic calamities, Filipinos have their own ways of coping with it. Considered as happy people, Filipinos find ways to console themselves even during the hardest times.
