Greetings from Philippines,
Our area, Masbate will be terribly affected by the Typhoon. The eye will be about 2 km from Masbate City.
We are now experiencing very strong winds of about 175 km expected to increase more and more. Flights and all traveling has been cancelled. The sky is so dark, heavy rains and buildings and trees, rice, banana fields etc. are being uprooted or falling in some places. Electricity cut and water affected. Relief food, medicines are already on the way. So far we are safe here in our place. But you can’t go out, it’s bad. By 11.00 am the Typhoon is expected to fall on our place. The typhoon will only reach Masbate in 3 hours time, heading towards Manila-expecting the worst impact- but it is already bad and catastrophic, the effects. Will update you as the time goes. Many people around have been evacuated. People will have no food, shelter etc.
Please pray for the Philippines in your Masses Today.
Fraternally Yours,
Phelim Malumo, M.Afr
