It has been more than a week since the Philippines was hit by the strongest typhoon ever recorded in history, the Super Typhoon Yolanda. Many lives were lost, many families were separated from their loved ones, many were displaced, cities and towns were completely wrecked. It was horrible as the news unfold.

Although we are far from the country, the Filipino community abroad are also saddened by the situation and are organizing donation drives and charity events to collect goods and financial donations for the victims.

We may have gone through a very painful change, but I know that with it comes a beautiful transformation. Our prayers will always be with you. God bless the Philippines.
