MAYOR'S MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE

By Art M.

Yolanda left a great devastation in her wake. But if there is a lesson the super typhoon has taught us, it is that life is one unpredictable road and that we are living in an increasingly dangerous world. Our preparations can be a helpless, useless armor against the fury of Mother Nature. Yet, if there is another lesson Yolanda has taught us, it is that this world is still filled with people who are what all human beings ought to be: Kind, selfless, full of sympathies & generous impulses, people who never tire giving, people who even cross continents in order to bring healing and hope. Because of them, what could have been a monumental tragedy, has become a monumental triumph of humanity...

To all those who, in one way or the other,have given us a helping hand when we were down on our knees, we have no signature big enough to mark our gratitude for what you have done for us. As "Padayon Bogo" has always been our mantra, rest assured you have given us encouragement, added strength and the will to move on. We may not be able to return your kindness (although we sincerely hope we could), but we hope and pray that God repay you all a hundred fold.
