The other side of calamity

I know how hard to be a victim of any forms of calamity and I really salute those who struggle to survive and even dare to be of help to some other victims. I've been hearing lots of good news about the heroism of some people during the occurrence of typhoon Ondoy here in our country. It is still evident that the spirit of bayanihan still resides in our hearts.

Another thing that I've been noticing to Filipino's is their positive attitude towards the tragedy. We Filipino's still manages to smile even how tragic our experiences are. Some may even joke on it just to forget the sad fate that has happened. Have you seen some news on the TV? Notice some victims waving their hands and smiling in front of the camera. You will only saw that here in the Philippines. Some races may still cry and you'll see sad faces but with Filipino's is different. It only shows that we don't loose hope. We still believe that there is a bright tomorrow after the storm.

I don't know if some people notice it too but I've noticed that calamity victims get more help whenever election season is up. Some aspiring public officials were trying to show their generosity and always want to be of help to the victims. I do appreciate their help but as what some people say let's just hope that this act or event will not be use in politics. Cause once the calamity or tragedy doesn't happen during the time of campaign period would they still give help?
