Devastated
Posted on September 28, 2009, 1:15 PM under Street Stories
I visited A. Ferrera street this morning and here’s what I saw. Until now, residents’ appliances are still outside as they clean their house for “banlik.”
Water in some areas are still knee-deep high.
Trash surrounded the sala.
As I write this, the dump truck of the municipal government is near our house to collect the mud. I had hoped, though, that the firetrucks followed to clean up the road.
Communication lines are still down and I have to use a mobile phone as a modem. As with posters had said, best bet is to take the Angono-Binangonan route in going to and from Baras. I myself has to go to the office in Quezon City this afternoon.

hi joseph, grabe din ang naging epekto ng bagyong ondoy sa amin dito sa angono. 13 ang patay dito dahil sa flashflood at landslide. sa coastal areas at kabayanan, lampas tao ang baha.

herbert,more power to you and thanks for all your effort in publishing pictures about baras after the flood. we in baras are still lucky compare to the other neighboring towns. i’ve seen a lot of pictures in tanaygeographic facebook and saw a lot of damages. i hope they can recover from this calamity. to the people of baras, let’s just help one another in the clean up process and try to move on.

..nakikiramay ako sa pagkamatay ni ka Sioning Ramirez Arcilla, sana maayos naman ang palibing sa kanya na napasabay pa sa calamidad ng bagyo at baha. I want to call the family but I don’t have their ph or e-mail.

Tulad ng ginawa namin, iminumungkahi ko sa gustong tumulong na magpadala ng pera sa simbahan (Fr. Hilario ) o pastor at bigyan ng instruction kung papaano gagastusin ang inyong ipinadala, e.g. rice, canned goods, water. Ipidala ninyo through western union, uniteller, or paypal. Maliit mang tulong ay napalaking kaibsan sa hirap ng ating mahihirap na kababayan. Time is of the essence.

Thanks for the pics. that you posted. At least I some peace of mind. Though we feel the heat of ondoy, we are still lucky that most of us are safe with less fatalities compare to tsunami causality in Asia. My prayers goes to all kababayans. We will overcome all of this ordeals with prayers and helping each other.
Ours deepest sympathy to Arcilla Family. Tia Sioning we will missed you. You’re like a mother to us.

Sa mga nasalanta ng Ondoy, nakikiramay po ako sa mga kababayan ko sa Baras.
To the family of ate Amor Canete Bautista:
I heard the difficulty during the funeral due to flooding. The palibing was done last Tuesday instead of Sunday.
We are with you in this hard time. Ate Amor was a great person. She was like a sister to me as she enlightened the hearts of many. I’m sure we will be able to cope with this difficult period.
May her soul rest in peace.
My heartfelt condolences also to the family of Tia Sioning: I am deeply grieved. Ninang Sioning was such a lovely woman. I often think about all the times we spent together and all the kindness, advices she gave me when I was growing up. She was such a pleasure to have around when I was there. She was my second Nanay. I have learned so much from her and will remember her always.
LET’S ALL PRAY THAT THE PEOPLE OF BARAS BE BLESSED AND SAFE ALWAYS….

Kahapon si Mayor Dindo kasama ang contingent ng Rotary Club of Makati at si Fr. Rico ay namahagi ng mga relief goods, bigas, delata, damit,inuming tubig at iba pa sa may 100 pamilya na nasa evacuation centers sa Baras Elementary School at Barangay Hall ng Barangay Evangelista.

Siya rin ay nagiwan sa Simbahan ng mga relief items na nasa plastic bags at containers ng inumibg tubig na tinanggap ni Fr. Rico. Si Mayor Dindo ay isang aktibong miembro ng Rotary Club of Makati.

Salamat naman at nakarating na ang ibang relief sa Baras,..Kakapakinig ko lang sa ABS-CBN TFC news.
Still scary coz with this another typhoon coming in they said Laguna de Bay might overflow and will affect alongside towns and flood will not subside until 3 months. Kasalanan ito ng mga squatters na nakapahalang sa Pasig River.
Sana maghanda ang mga taga-Baras habang maaga pa.

mahirap na mag sisihan ngayun,subalit napagalaman ko po na ang halang sa sala ay hindi naibukas agad.ang tanging bukas lamang ay ang gitnang panghalang.inalerto na ang admin. ng sala subalit hinjhintay pang magbara ang sala.kaya lumaki ang tubig sa ilog natin.naka document ang sinasabi ko as it was caught in video by a resident of the said place in Mabini.baka pwede ipatawag ang mga farmewrs association ni mayor regarding sa polocy nila sa pagbubukas ng sala.matutuo na sana tayo sa nangyari ngayun.God help us Baraseno

I have not been watching much tv lately as I am a nurse working nights here in the US. My patient told me about the flood and I am worried for my family in Baras. Does anyone know if Ilaya Street was hit hard? I have not received any word from my Kuyas or other family in Baras.
