It was a blow to the community of
Compostela Valley Province and Davao Oriental in the island of Mindanao to
experience such calamity. Some had lived for 30, 40, and 50 years of existence
in these areas yet according to them, this was the most terrible. Hundreds of
casualties and missing people were brought by the dreadful super typhoon and
what took the tropical storm to devastate easily the affected beings, was their
unexpected approach to this typhoon “PABLO”.
Unlike other areas in the Philippines,
supposedly, these provinces are unusual to get into this cruelty of nature. These
are mountainous zones that typically trap strong winds. And that what makes residents
there confident in facing any blustery conditions. But this time, their confidence
leads them to a complicated situation. Allegedly, the effect of Pablo to these
disturbed provinces is just steam of the typhoon and short duration of wind
gust. However, what has happened was a total mishap.
News has spread before that
heart-rending day happened. It’s much forfeiture to persons who did not grasp
the risk to prepare and evacuate to safer centers. To others, it was miserable
and unfair that some municipalities did not force to evacuate their residents. Some
says that it could be prevented if task forces vigorously evacuated refractory
inhabitants.
Living in a society with no occurrence of much catastrophes, is not a bases to reprehend the words of our instinct, remember that “Prevention is better that cure”. If a life will lost it cannot taken back. If we can bring back the moment, we surely vetoed it. But we cannot repudiate also that it is all our unmannerly actions that enables this calamity to shatter us effortlessly. Now, Let us just be thankful that we are given a chance. It’s really probably not our end or there’s must be something we need to finish. But whatever is that, lets us all be reminded that “In every experience, we get a lesson from it” and that what makes us stronger and wiser in the future.
