It’s ironic how our building’s generator decided to break down the day after Typhoon Tino came through. A religious person online had posted something about God punishing those in it’s path for our their actions… It was our fault. Maybe he decided to break our building’s generator to make us realize how fortunate that our building is in an area that isn’t prone to flash floods. Share the pain.
I don’t know.
The photos and videos of cars piled up in muddy torrents of rushing water were mind boggling…lots of sad stories.
When we moved next door to the hotel, with its electricity, I was talking to the young man who helped us with our bags. OJT - on the job training. He’s working without pay. He commutes a few hours RT/day, and the Jeepney rides total p150 ($2.55)
I think many Filipinos only earn p500/day, the minimum wage. I asked him where he lived, and he said Liloan. Liloan is 17.5 km north of Cebu City, and Tino took over 30 lives there.
