i am reckoning my count from 27 July 2012, a Friday - when my friends and i went to Barbara's at Intramuros for dinner and a Filipiniana show. and after which we went to have coffee.
13 days. the day is still overcast and it rained pretty hard this morning, but not so before 9 so after no-work yesterday (the rain was really terrible yesterday). a couple of texts came my way, a prayer brigade asking God to take charge of the rain. i was not terribly afraid because He said He would not chastise His people again by water. what i did pray for was for people to use their heads and not be stubborn. supposedly there was an announcement regarding the imminent flooding/landslides.
why did people not evacuate? it is possible that they did not hear the announcement, in which case Ms. Corina Sanchez is on the nose when she puts the blame on the LGUs. there should have been more force exerted by the LGUs.
at home yesterday, i remember hearing the loud speaker but it was just loud and not terribly clear. i have never understood any of their announcements.speaking over a public address system- 3 things are important: slow, concise, and clear.
bakit di na nila matuntun na dapat ang salita sa public address system ay MABAGAL, DAHAM-DAHAN, MALINAW, at MAIGSI. ewan ko lang, pero sana, gawin ng mga gumagamit sa public address system.
