Before ending the year, I had a great opportunity having reflected back the blessings and trials that greeted my path. Realized it was full of challenges, some I have conquered and some I have put aside that will still surely come my way on the upcoming year ahead. Though the most fulfilling one, are not just the blessings I have received, but the guidance that led me to where I am now. The upcoming year seems to have much more surprises ahead. It fears me, it's shaking my spirit, but I know that the scars of the previous battle that I fought from the previous years, have instilled and engraved great learning that I could use as one of my weapon for the tribulations that are waiting ahead. I will gladly welcome all of these, as it will once again test my spirit, my will, my hope, and my faith. Happy New year everyone!

Tropical Storm Washi (locally known as “Sendong”) which hit Northern Mindanao over the weekend, caused massive flooding, flashfloods and landslides, resulting in the death of over 1,000 people. Some 285,000 people have been displaced, many of whom are taking refuge with relatives or in makeshift structures. The World Food Programme (WFP) is responding to the Philippine Government’s request for international support and is mobilizing to assist 220,000 of the most vulnerble persons, many of whom have limited access to nutritious food and clean drinking water. Augmenting government’s relief efforts, WFP assistance, at the initial phase of the response, focuses on providing fortified ready-to-eat foods as well as logistics support to the Philippine government and humanitarian agencies.
