The Ondoy Aftermath
I won't be making a post about what happened in Metro Manila or the rest of the Philippines for the past 24 hours because of Ondoy. This is a personal post of what may happen in the next week, to me and others who are currently making Pinoy Parazzi, the tabloid, happen. Although we weren't seriously hit, we were flooded a bit but not compared with other people in Marikina who spent 10 hours on their roof. We were lucky.
The Pinoy Parazzi office wasn't lucky though. Our office along Panay avenue was submerged in waist-high water. All our documents, files and computers were destroyed.
Now, I fear that I won't have work to return to tomorrow. I have that fear for the tabloid's 50 or more other employees who will be feeding their families as well. I hope we all get through this.
