MEDIUM RARE

- JULLIE Y. DAZA

We should be used to it by now, typhoons coming and typhoons going, they leave the same expected devastation, destruction, or loss of lives and property.

We are hit but we rise again; it’s in our DNA.

Using a colorful national language, we describe how a flood is roaring in, furiously rampaging, shouting to be let in; oh, the drama/melodrama of it all. The pictures on the screen tonight, in the newspapers the next day. Government workers and volunteers pitching into help the victims, feed them, move the “bakwit” to evacuation centers.
