I kissed my children today. Scouring the net for news about the aftermath of Storm Sendong, I chance upon some heartbreaking photos - Inconsolable grief is pictured in the face of this father who lost his child at the height of the typhoon. I imagine there was no time to run for most as they got swallowed up by the rampaging floodwaters. Photo via @mindanaoan on twitter. Authorities now say the affected areas in Northern Mindanao experienced in one day more than a month's worth of rainfall. And I can't believe the national weather bureau failed us again in ...

The death toll has reached 200, with close to 500 missing in the flashfloods caused by heavy rains.

Frankly, I couldn't help but ask 'what was he thinking?'

David Beckham & LA Galaxy teammates in Manila
My friend Raoul E. took this photo of soccer star David Beckham at the NAIA yesterday. As expected, he looked so fit and handsome although it wasn't clear how he took to walking in one of the world's worst airports :) Reports said Beckham and his teammates from Los Angeles Galaxy who arrived in a chartered flight were extended the usual courtesies accorded to VIP guests by NAIA management.
