For the past two days, we have been worried about our relatives who live in Town and Country Village in Antipolo.  In the afternoon of 26 September 2009, our relatives sent a message that floodwaters had gotten into their home and had risen up to the fifth step on the first floor. Nevertheless, they were safe on the second floor.  When the rains continued into the night, we tried calling our relatives but we could not contact them because phone lines in their area were down.  We were worried.

By the afternoon of 27 September 2009, a cousin and some friends braved the floods and drove all the way to the entrance of Town and Country.  From the entrance, they paddled a rubber boat to bring help to our relatives.  Thankfully, my relatives were safe albeit traumatized by the whole situation.

A cousin who was rescued had the presence of mind to take these pictures of the havoc wrought by typhoon Ondoy in Town and Country.

All things considered, my relatives are still more fortunate than others.  There are still many out there who need rescuing.  Please help me continue to pray for them and those who have lost everything.
