Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City

Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City was one of those places heavily hit by Typhoon Ketsana. It was also one of the areas “rarely” visited by the relief goods operation of other organizations, because it was simply too hard to get through the above-chest water flood levels.

Imagine you‘re watching TV, spending a good time with your family then a heavy rain started. Of course, you‘d think that it‘s just ″another rain″ but what if it didn‘t stop?

Suddenly, you see the water rising and starting to creep in your house. So you evacuate, stay for a night or two in a basketball court and after the rain stopped, you come back to your home and you see nothing − everything lost.

That‘s exactly what happened on September 26, 2009 when typhoon Ketsana (locally known as ″Ondoy″) literally, throws off a month‘s worth of rainfall in a single day.

What‘s worse is, it didn‘t just took all the hard work of some people, ″Ketsana″ took 360 lives.

But it doesn´t end there. Just a few days later, yet another Supertyphoon Parma (locally known as ″Pepeng″) caused an even greater catastrophy. An additional 450 lives lost, hundreds more reported missing, and thousands left severely injured.

Both Ketsana and Parma left a devastating impact, a calamity which took more than a billion dollar´s worth of infrastracture, agriculture, fisheries, and poultry sectors' damage. What´s even more depressing is the deep wound of trauma both tragedies left in the minds and hearts of all Filipinos.

True, the other damages could be repaired, even though it would take years to be rehabilitated back to normal state...But the lives lost would forever remain a haunting memory. Forever just a part of tragic history.
