Worst Flood in the Philippines - sidetopic

I won't ever, ever forget Sept. 26, 2009. For 4 months I've been preparing a party for my husband's 40th birthday. We were so excited but the party never happened. When I switched on the TV, I was really sad when I saw my fellowmen lost their houses, cars and their loved ones. This was the worst flood, typhoon ever happened in Metro Manila since 1967.
