am fine

Hi Cass and Gret,

I am ok. I live in the capital region away from the storm hit areas. We are volunteering to help our fellow Filipinos who survived. The scale of the storm surge hit us by surprise and we have been ill equipped to handle the situation on the ground. The warnings and evacuations were not properly coordinated and rescue/relief operations were delayed.

Though I hate the US war machinery, in this case, I have to thank the US for sending the military to help. They restored airport operations in Tacloban and are sending Ospreys to survey remote areas.

Thanks for your concern, and do donate to the Red Cross or other agencies if you can.
