Resilience Ain't Enough

 After yesterday's super typhoon today the sun was shining brightly. It was relaxing to see calm, normal weather again. Mega Manila got lucky the wrath of Rolly didn't hit the areas hard. Unfortunately, not the same case in Albay, Batangas, Aurora, Quezon, and Catanduanes among others. There are places that all systems of communications are down so they can't be reached so no clear information yet of the extent of the damage. Typhoons are so normal in this country but this year is just extra difficult. Imagine if you are one of those who have to evacuate. You are in an evacuation with other people, many families, with the danger of exposure to the virus. So many worries. So much stressful situations. And oh some will romanticize their hardship as "Filipinos are always resilient" yeah that's true but stop romanticizing it. There should be more, we couldn't just rely on resilience forever. We deserve more
