Let us repent and ask for His forgiveness

"wala naman namatay sa block nila" - aforementioned by Felisa Balid, a housewife of 5 children with a husband working in a construction firm and living at Block 13 Lot 34 Phase 1 Balubad Marikina.

A simple yet happy family, under a house-built on wood in Brgy. Balubad until one day, it was a Saturday, dated September 26, year 2009; It was 10 in the morning, and the flood was already waist-high, heavy raindrops pour them very rapidly.

Felisa and her children have no choice but to leave their wooden house, and her husband was the only person left to guard their house.

Walked over some houses' roof and went to a nearby third floor house in their place. She didn't manage to carry anything, any materials, except her kids.

At first all the people in that building was scared, she said, because the water rose up to the second floor of the building and it was only a 3-story house. But for the meantime, together with their neighbors, stayed there to be safe.

Despite this tragedy, the fact that they are experiencing deep sorrow and pain right now, cough, colds and athletes foot; She said, "okay na, masaya, kasama mga anak at buong pamilya, pero yun nga maputik parin ang bahay at sira na lahat, wala ng mga gamit."

She also added that this experience, this storm that hit them, hit us, was amongst the most excruciation in their entire life, thinking that it is really the end of the world.

They don't have anything left, as in none, no money, no foods, no, nothing; And the only thing they depend on are their kind-hearted fellow Filipinos and the relief goods they bring with them.

She was very thankful to those people that help her, that help them in times like this. The relief goods, clothing and everyday necessity that were given to them, truly Filipinos are united. She said.

And she added, saying "Lahat ng tao kailangan maghanda, mayaman man o mahirap, tayo'y magkaisa. Kulang tayo sa pananalig sa Diyos; manumbalik tayong lahat sa kanya upang tayo'y patawarin."

"All of us should be ready, poor or rich, unite. We lack faith with Jesus; Let us repent and ask for His forgiveness."
