And this is my documentation on our crops before it was hit by typhoon Basyang

 It is disappointing that our government is always caught unprepared when it comes to disaster preparedness. More so, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Officials whom responsible for this are quite lacking on giving up-to-date forecast as well as disseminating the information. But we should not point all our fingers to them as their services were also affected by insufficient application of modern equipment and instrument.  I don’t even want to recall the horrified aftermath happened during typhoon Ondoy incident that occur last year’s were vast of lost lives and causalities were recorded.

Just like today,  typhoon increased its strength and change in direction that’s why people from Central Luzon are not aware nor expect that tropical storm name “Basyang” with (international codename: Conson) will fall heavy rains and strong winds lifting the signal storm from number 1 to 3. In the areas where most affected like us, I experienced sleepless night during its occurrence. Take also into account the power interruption. May this incident gives an eye-opening experience to national government to do what should be done.
