"Based on the account of survivors, this 3-storey house in Calacala saved hundreds of lives, as survivors clung to it for dear life. But inside out, it was badly damaged and will never be again a home."











"About 250 homes in this 4.8 hectare area were reduced to nothing. 6 houses apparently remained standing after Sendong, but really, roofs do not make a home."

Xavier University's "Operation: Tabang Sendong"

  A day after I arrived from Metro Manila (went there for the holidays), I dropped by Xavier University with a good friend, Henry, to check out possible volunteering for relief operations. We were amazed with XU's dedication to help the victims of Typhoon Sendong that struck our beloved hometown last December 16-17, 2011. Keep up the good work, XU ! :)  --ARV
