Philippines and Indonesia

Typhoon Ondoy has flooded the streets of Metro Manila, displacing over 200 families in the Luzon Region.Central Luzon was affected the most by this natural abomination.Many Cities were in state of calamity.Houses were destroyed.Lives had lost.Our poor kababayan's doesn't know where to start.All we can do is to donate and pray. . .

Direct to the point,Let's pause for a moment and Let's all pray for the victims of typhoon Ondoy.

Indonesia
A powerful earthquake has struck off the Indonesian island of Java, killing 44 people, officials say.

More than 300 have been injured and it is feared the death toll will rise as many homes have reportedly been buried by a landslide triggered by the quake.

More than 700 houses were badly damaged by the magnitude 7.0 quake, a social affairs ministry official told AP.

The quake struck around 1500 (0800 GMT). Its epicentre was offshore, 115km (70 miles) south-west of Tasikmalaya.

Medical teams have been dispatched to the city, where damaged properties included the mayor's home and a mosque.

The tremors were felt in the capital, Jakarta, 200km to the north, where hundreds fled into the streets from offices and shops.

The power of Prayer is very strong. When one prays with pure heart & soul, the effect is very magnified and can be felt by all concerned. Let us all pray together.

"May Almighty God easy all the difficulties, calamities and illnesses faced by our brothers & sisters, May He fulfil their desires. May He give them courage and blessings to rebuild their lives. May He stand by them all the time and protect them from further harm. May He grant them Spiritual Blessings. May He keep those that He took away in His Holy company and grant them the abode of peace. Amen"

Let us do what we can in our power to help our brothers & sisters.
