ONDOY -   made history last September 26, 2009, Saturday in Metro Manila and some parts of Luzon area by pouring a month's worth of rain in just few hours causing to a widespread of flood. According to folks, this was first to happen in the Philippine history!   A lot of our fellow Filipinos suffered especially those who lived in a one storey house.  I know some of you or most of you were able to watch the news during that day, how worst that disaster was.
