Deadly Floods in Central Phillippines

Tropical storm Kujira has caused deadly landslides and floods in central Philippines this weekend. At least 20 people have been killed and thousands of homes are destroyed.
STORY:
Landslides and floods in central Philippines have killed at least 20 people including children.

Cyril Hilab lost his wife and child in the floods.

[Cyril Hilab, Flood Victim]:
"I'm disoriented. I haven't fully absorbed what happened. I can't believe that one day I'd wake up and face something like this."

Thousands have evacuated their homes as tropical storm Kujira hit the Bicol region with winds up to 95 kilometers per hour on Sunday morning.

Three people are still missing and more than 3,000 are staying in evacuation centers as the flooding destroyed houses, roads and bridges.

[Abelardo Arambulo, Magallanes Town Mayor]:
"This area is very dangerous. Residents should relocate to another site. But the problem is, this is a poor municipality. We're seeking help from the president and from the provincial governor."

But thousands are still stranded in ports around the Luzon and Visayas regions as many roads remain impassable.

Landslides and flash floods are still common across the Philippines during the monsoon months between May and October.

THAT IS SO BAD WISH NO HURT

[u2phreak]

I agree with you regarding the corruption and other facets of the culture BUT I DISAGREE when you say "They deserved the floods" - how insensitive is that? If you or someone in your family dies because of something stupid that you do yet knowing the repercussions, how would you feel if someone went up to you and said "you deserve what happened to you!" Think about that...

@philipdcrusader

when it comes to filipino, im emotional.

but i wish no harm to you.

[philipdcrusader]

@tellnothing1 I wish them well. I didnt wish them dead. You reason is overcame by emotion. Youre too emotional. Is it bad to tell the ills of people?

[tellnothing1]

@philipdcrusader

im not saying you are spreading rumors, but im saying you are against them!!

you actually wish they were dead

[philipdcrusader]

@tellnothing1 Stick to the issues at hand. You are implying Im spreading rumors. Can you tell me what are those?

[tellnothing1]

@philipdcrusader

im not pinoy, buy i wish i was, then i can prove to the filipino haters, that filipino is not the way they think they are!!

i already admit my faults, i was racist against filipino before, but i know now, all the things i thought they were, was false. know i try to protect them and stop the false filipino rumors.

[philipdcrusader]

@tellnothing1 Im not racist. I have an Asian blood in my veins. Im just trying, straight from the shoulder, the ills that make what the Filipinos are. If it hurts you then its your fault. You did not criticize your defect first...and you will never learn...unless you pause and think carefully what I am saying. Quo vadis, Pinoy?

[tellnothing1]

you fucking rasicst!!!!!
