This was one of my most favourite posts; I’m reposting this for those who may not have got a chance to see it. Bradleym
January 10th I visited a sick co-worker at his home town of Cagayan De Oro; I had no idea of the devastation that the people of Cagayan had experienced on December 17th 2011; a typhoon created a flash flood around 7pm, this was the worst flooding in Mindanao in the last 25 years, killing at least 1002 people with more still missing, at least 11 barangays out of Iligan City’s 44 barangays and 23 out of Cagayan de Oro’s 80 barangays were under water. Thousands of residents were sent to their roofs shortly after midnight as floodwaters rose rapidly. My drive even 37 days after the devastation shows how bad the flood really was; I passed an outside basketball court that still housed a few hundred people who had no where to go. Our driver whose house was lost to the flood said that the waters had reached the height of A fence which was around 6 feet within 5 minutes.

OK so it’s been awhile… I apologize. A lot has been going on in my life for the past 2 months. I have been given a chance to work at a Resort on the Island of Saipan and will be leaving Cebu May 31st. I have truly enjoyed Cebu and still have many videos to post when I get the time. I’d imagine I can change the title and post under STUCK IN SAIPAN soon. I will be working on a new post and it should be out in the next few days. I recently was able to meet Manny the PAC man and will post a video about that meeting. Thank you all for your continued support and it was nice to read that some of you missed my post. These kind comments actually prompted me to keep posting. I will be posting a new post by the May 9th; and by the way today is my Birthday……. Working as usual.. Do something kind for someone today….
