Sendong

From the very start those people living near the creeks, riverbanks and shorelines endanger their lives from a rushing and raging water caused and mitigated by heavy downpours of rains, mighty winds and sea based earthquakes that form a monstrous tsunami that hits Japan, Indonesia and other countries.

It is just a matter of time when this similar Acts of God will happen most probably during the unexpected and comfortable moments in our lives.

The Philippine Government empowered the Local Government Unit to advised those families living in the danger zones to vacate to a safer grounds provided by the local government unit where they belong or else face the mandatory and compulsory demolition of their houses. This is to ensure their safety.

The pictures below is just a reminder for us to learn our lessons from "Sendong" and other similar Acts of God.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION

THESE ARE THE PICTURES OF MOUNT PINATUBO, ONE OF THE TOURIST DESTINATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. IT RESEMBLES TRANQUILITY AND INNER PEACE. BY JUST MERE LOOKING AT  IT YOU WILL FIND STRENGTH AND INNER HAPPINESS. SHE IS PRETTY, SO QUIET AND PEACEFUL.

BUT MT. PINATUBO IS AN ACTIVE VOLCANO WITH HISTORY OF VIOLENT REACTION. WHAT TRIGGERS MT. PINATUBO TO EXPLODE? NO ONE KNOWS? AND WHEN SHE WILL ERUPTS? WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THOUGH GEOLOGISTS OBSERVE HER  CONDITION TIGHTLY AND MONITOR HER DAILY REACTION.

SEE THE DIFFERENT FACIAL EXPRESSION OT MT. PINATUBO FROM A QUIET AND PEACEFUL OUTLOOK TO A SMOKING, RAGING AND EXPLOSIVE BEHAVIOR READY TO EXPLODE AND CONSUME THOSE WHO BLOCK HER WAY.

TSUNAMI

BY DEFINITION, ACT OF GOD IS AN EVENT OR OCCURRENCE OUTSIDE HUMAN CONTROL. WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT IS TO HAPPEN. EVEN THE MOST ADVANCE AND PROGRESSIVE COUNTRIES EQUIP WITH SOPHISTICATED EQUIPMENT WERE FALLEN SHORT OF THEIR FORECAST AND PREDICTION.

IN JUST A WINK OF AN EYE, BEFORE A WARNING IS GIVEN, TSUNAMI HITS JAPAN THAT  KILLED THOUSANDS OF LIVES, LEFT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HOMELESS AND DESTROYED THE WHOLE VILLAGE. THERE IS NO FOOD TO EAT AND NO POTABLE WATER TO DRINK.
