Typhoon Hagupit is slowly making its way out of the country and so far from the reports given by the different government agencies concerned and the media, the damage is still quite big but the loss of life is minimal. As it moves across south of Manila, the public is warned to still remain vigilant even if the typhoon has diminished in strength, it could still bring in a lot of rain and it still might flood the metro.
A lot of cities along with Manila has declared the suspension of classes and work but for others especially those who work at BPOs, the daily grind still continues. And though it's important to earn a living, safety still is of the utmost importance. No debate on that. For those who will go to work tonight, make sure to take extra precaution, keep constant communication with your loved ones and with the people at work.
While we wait for the typhoon to leave the country, let's all be thankful that there wasn't much casualty. Let's also commend our national weather forecasting agency for being close to accurate in projecting the path and the strength of the typhoon. The different local government agencies also did it right this time by preparing for the storm's possible damage days before it actually gets here.
Once this is all over, we all go back to our daily lives. But let's all try and do our part in not contributing to the effects of climate change
