The past three years saw the overwhelming natural calamities that we never imagined would happen. The wild fires that swept California, USA some part of Australia caused lives and destroyed properties. The flooding in China claimed many lives and properties.
If we saw that in other countries, we also have our own share of those calamities. Who would ever forget the damages caused by typhoon Ondoy that left many Filipino families in Metro Manila homeless?
At the local level, Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental and the neighboring cities and provinces were not spared. The heavy flooding in the first quarter of 2009 was something Cagayanons and Misamisnons never expected. It was the first time that the city experienced a heavy flooding like that.

sweet, sweet dreams gone away
in the moonless night you chose to stay
the skies were blue, the starts not so bright
wallowing me cold, shuddering to fight.
gone, gone sweet words of wisdom
the strong current of life wringing me down
O life, where art thou going, where am I?
leave me to where my heart is, be kind.
despair not, O love of my desire
cast another glance, this we have to bear
listen to the unspeakable words, the silent feeling
hidden in the bosom of life, waiting.

It was a rare opportunity for me… to be one of the media practitioners to be invited by ALAGAD-Mindanao to attend the STI, HIV and AIDS Reorientation Seminar. I thought it was only one of those usual media orientation. What surprised me, though, was when it was announced that somebody will be sharing his experience. What heightened my curiosity was when we were told that due to confidentiality of information, taking of pictures are not allowed, and that we will hide the identity of the person.
The ‘instruction’ made my heart beat faster. It was not something I somehow expected… but I knew I was ready…and deep inside, I was silently happy and even muted, “Now, I could put a face to what I have been reading and hearing about…”

A few years back, I received a forwarded article which was entitled, “You are a Filipino if….” where it lists the number of things that makes us Filipinos unique, distinct in many ways. The list includes something like: you are a Filipino if you point with your lips… if you nod upwards to greet someone… if you smile for no reason at all. The list runs up to 101…

Peace on Earth! Peace for the world!
God will send the world a bird
The bird was a dove
As a symbol of his love
Spirits sail! Spirits sail!
God will send the world a mail
He wrote: “The peace had begun”
Because there is something good we have done
