When the ground trembles

The earth has been restless again. In recent days, we have felt its tremors in different corners of the country some mild, others frighteningly strong. Each time it happens, we find ourself pausing, remembering, and praying.

We have written before about earthquakes and other natural disasters, but each new one brings back memories and emotions that never truly fade. And so we feel compelled, once again, to lend our voice to a call that can never be repeated enough we must always be prepared constantly and consistently. Because earthquakes do not give warnings. They simply come and change everything in a heartbeat.

Every time the news flashes images of cracked roads, fallen buildings, and frightened families, our mind drifts back to July 16, 1990, a day that changed our life and the life of our beloved hometown, Dagupan City, forever.
