While it is expected to make landfall only on 22 October, its wide outer rain bands could bring heavy rains and strong winds to northern provinces a day earlier, the state weather bureau said. The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) in Manila said nearly 100 tonnes of food and other relief items had been trucked or airlifted to northern provinces where Lupit was expected to hit.
Lupit comes as the country continues to reel from the devastation wrought by twin typhoons that left 858 people dead and entire areas under flood waters for the past three weeks….

Oh please let the rain go away this time. Filipinos need a break. Still so many cleaning up to do after Ondoy. News says we are now seeing the effects of climate change - extreme rain, floods in wide scale proportion, a foreseen earthquake - sounds like doomsday is coming. But hey, I'm just stating a fact. Some people still chose to believe that this is just bad science. But its happening not only in the Philippines but around the world. Global warming is affecting the whole world. So what can we do?... Maybe we could start caring for our community and be sensitive. Its success is built upon the action of every individual, regardless of nationality, to conserve energy and live in a greener, cleaner community.
