The Two Typhoons

Days have passed after the onslught of typhoons Ondoy and pepeng, but their effects are still here with us. Aside from lives lost, thousands homeless, streets flooded still, another problem arose. Food supply. Not the canned goods or the ones bought in the grocery. I mean produce: rice and vegetables.

If we who live in high places weren't affected by the flooding, this future shortage of produce will hurt all of us. I can anticipate that prices will shoot up to the highest levels. They began to do so already.

I just pray that all of us will continue helping each other and putting ourselves back on our feet again. When we fall, we fall hard, but we sure can stand again. And nope, I won't go into political issues (somebody stop me!).
