SUPER TYPHOON PEPENG (PARMA) IS COMING TOO SOON. I HAVE ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING, TYPHOONS WITH STRONGER MAGNITUDE ARE TO BE EXPECTED IN THE FUTURE. BUT WAS NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE COMING SO EARLY AND JUST BARELY A WEEK HAVE PASSED SINCE TYPHOON ONDOY HIT AND DEVASTATED MANILA AND OTHER PARTS OF LUZON, PHILIPPINES.
I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM MY COUSIN A FEW HOURS AGO THAT WROTE, "Landfall saturday afternoon. East of samar now at 175kph to 210 gusts and will hit northern luzon at super typhoon strength (around 240kph). Pagasa asking people to pass the word already and prepare". (1-Oct-2009)(16:25:27)
ANOTHER TEXT MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED FROM A FRIEND OF MINE THAT WROTE, "Dearest friends and family, this just in from cnn. The coming storm is now a category 5 supertyphoon. Expected landfall is late friday or early saturday. Path is through northern luzon. We can only pray and prepare as it is the strongest category. Please warn ur loved ones in that area while still early. Let's also hope and pray it takes a different course. Please spread the word. God bless the Philippines!". (1-Oct-2009)(21:26:27)
. . . . . . . . . . DO I NEED TO SAY WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? DO YOU HAVE A PLAN TO PREVENT OR LESSEN THESE SORT OF CALAMITIES IN THE FUTURE? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO ACT? NOW WILL BE THE RIGHT TIME.
TREE LOVERS,
ReplyDeleteSOME TREES THAT ARE INTRODUCED ARE NOT SO GREAT YES ? BUT LETS FACE IT SOME LIKE TEAK AND SOUTH AMERICAN MAHOGANY TRULY GREAT ! THE PROBLEM IS WHEN WE ARE SO STEREO TYPE THAT WE CANT THINK OF ANYTHING BUT PLANT ROBOTICALLY 1 TREE SPECIE PLANTATION STYLE LIKE CABBAGES OR PECHAY . C'MON IF WE ALRERNATE AND PLANT AND WE ACCEPT GOOD INTRODUCED TREE SPECIE THIS ALSO BENEFITS US TREMENDOUSLY. IF NOT FOR COFFEE, JACK FRUIT, CACAO, RUBBER, ETC. ETC. DO YOU THINK WE CAN ALSO PROGRESS AGRICULTURALLY. DON'T BE A STERIO TYPE OR A NARROW MINDED CALESA HORSE LOOK AT THE BRIGHTER SIDE BUT YES DON'T PLANT 1 TREE SPECIE PLANTATION STYLE ITS AWFUL AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO DESEASES.
