If you have been to Daraga Albay and have seen the Cagsawa church tower bell ruins with Mayon Volcano at the background, you are one lucky person. If you have your picture taken on those ruins, keep it or preserve it for life. Why? The whole place, that includes all of the park, Souvenir shops and three newly opened resorts have now dissapeared in the map forever. It is now buried under tons of mud. But much worse, as of today more than 1000 people have been reported killed or missing. Thousands left homeless with barely with their clothes on, nothing to eat, no work, no farms to tend, no water to drink, no electricity, not just for days but probably for weeks or even months to come.
Typhoon Durian brought havoc to Bicol beyond anybody's imagination and the agony is just beginning for those who survived. They need our help.!!!
A sense of desperation
Maricel Arevalo, 31, cries as she searches for her three missing children at what used to be their home in Busay village in Albay province near the slopes of Mayon volcano.
