Blah Blah Blogs BER Edition: Ondoy Year 2 and End of the World day II

ONDOY YEAR TWO

Another year has passed...

Now we again remember the Rainy day horror of Ondoy that happened two years ago. Coincidentally today another typhoon (Pedring) is pushing its way though Luzon. To the many victims, the visions are still fresh, I still remember how Sta Mesa Manila looked like a wasteland on the aftermath of Ondoy. We were indeed lucky to be in an elevated part that is spared from the rolling flood that affected millions.

Globe Telecom's Advisory on Typhoon Basyang

***************

Globe Telecom is working to fully restore telecommunication service in selected areas in Luzon and Metro Manila which were affected by the prolonged commercial power outage. A significant part of our network has been restored in full, save for isolated areas in Metro Manila and Luzon.


While we augment our power supply with batteries and generator sets for our cell sites and wired line cabinets, these sources have limited life spans, and commercial power has been out since Tuesday night.


We appeal to the power utilities to expedite the restoration of power, to make available all types of Globe services to our subscribers.

For more information or to report any service difficulty, please send a message to Globe Faith Tiuseco or to @talk2Globe on Twitter. Please be safe.

'Basyang' Fierce Stories...

So after the torturing heat wave during summer, we were very desperate to have rain. However,  with sudden rainfalls in some areas it brought more bane than boon. And this time we have this new typhoon named 'Basyang' whose winds crated havoc especially with the electricity in the metro. President Noy talked to the weather officials that did not anticipate the damage it will bring to the metro. So far operations of the LRT and MRT have been suspended, but number coding has been lifted. Many homes still don't have electricity  and there were a lot of reports of damages such as uprooted trees and posts, blown roofs and tarpulins and other debris. Classes are suspended yet CHED says suspension for tertiary level is upon the discretion of the school administration. I actually stayed in the office to sleep and do some online stuff. I will not be able to cook since I use a rice cooker. For now, I am still checking on news for any other incidents and accidents caused by the typhoon so stay tuned. 

For now, I think we were caught off guard that this storm was not on its way to the city but had a wide radius with strong winds. Since its already the rainy season, we should not take typhoons lightly again. So far I only get my news from the internet and any available TV source since my phone have that function. Again guys, stay safe, pray, and make sure to do all measures to avoid incidents that can damage properties or injure lives. 

I'll be updating you for any additional information about the storm...
So far here are the news...
