Angels Cry by alabang, on FlickrDespite all the help being given today, more needs to be done. We who have family in the hardest hit areas of the Philippines are most grateful for the tangible help being given to everyone around the world.
We just entered the monsoon season and more typhoons are expected to start arriving on an almost weekly basis. We pray for your help when the need arises again.

Two-spot red snapper (Lutjanus bohar) by alabang, on FlickrThis Two-spot red snapper, Lutjanus bohar (local name “Maya-maya”) is a regular catch at the Tacloban Fish Shed. I was told that this snapper is estimated to be about 5kg and that in bulk price it sells for $2.27/lbs.
If I had a proper kitchen to work in I would’ve bought this fish outright and make lunch!

Tanauan Tent City by alabang, on FlickrTanauan National High School is the site of the Tent City of Tanauan. Some 10,000 people live here and other close by areas for the past 7 months after November’s Typhoon Haiyan while waiting for their permanent housing to be completed.
The heat index on the day I photographed this was at 41C or 106F.
The common worry amongst the people living here is the incoming typhoon season that may yield another typhoon like Haiyan/Yolanda.
