Very sad, so sorry about the house but very relieved to learn that your family are safe.
Thanks for the update mendoza

I really understand the feelings when everything is lost and just gone. So many things that can never be replaced. I've experienced it both personally here in UK and quite a few times with the extended family back in the Philippines.

Be strong and give whatever support you can whenever you can.

Hi Mendoza. ..so sorry to read of your family's predicament but the main thing is they are alive and you have a strong brother holding fort. That must comforting with the thought of that.
I never forgot your kindness when I was spilling out my troubles.
You had my prayers the night you started this thread. ...In fact it was for the proud nation of The Philippines.
I'll be so glad when this typhoon season is over. ..there's another 6 or 7 weeks of it to go.
