We Need Clean H2O at Calumpit


I believe that our town (Calumpit) in the province of Bulacan has been in the news for days already. We have been submerged in flood since Friday and since morning of that day we have no supply of electric power and water. Actually, we could deal with the lack of power supply and can make do with flash lights and candles but it is so hard to have a normal life with no water supply. For days, we have been depending on water rain which we try to catch through plastic containers for our dishwashing needs and for us to be able to wash a few pieces of our dirty clothes.

Hygiene will really be sacrificed due to the lack of clean water supply. I would love to visit someone who can do Dental Hygienist Jobs at soon as I can get out of the house. Unfortunately, the muddy flood water is still waist deep and it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to get out of the house anytime soon.

On a lighter note, Ms. Winnie Cordero visited our place last Monday morning and she distributed some bags of relief goods. I have the impression that those bags were from the Umagang Kay Ganda because she distributed the bags of goods during the time that UKG was airing. It was the first time that I was given a bag of relief goods and I really appreciate the help that was extended to us.

I will share more of our flood experience on my next posts…Probably when our electric supply returns to normal because my laptop battery is already running low. I just hope that the flood will subside soon and the water supply (at least) returns to normal at the soonest time possible.

It's a good thing then that you can still go online and post at this time. We were Ondoy victims but the floods in our home subsided the same evening. In your place, it will take days before the water goes down, and a lot more to get back to normal. I feel for you.

Indeed clean water is a definite need. I hope water refilling stations hear your request and donate their products.

God bless you and your family

We are from Lucena City, teachers and from my daughter's school will go there I think Hagonoy and Calumpit to give some love to your place. Students were advised to bring something to donate. Hope your place will go back to normal.

Prayers to you and all your kababayans.

God is good and I know your lives will all be back to normal soon.

God bless.

I feel sorry for what happened to your town. I hope everything gets normalized soon. I understand the difficulty of not having a clean water supply. Bangkok is having the same situation now and there is a threat of more flood damage in the coming days.

Will include you in prayers.
