Typhoon Ramil probably did not landfall in Cagayan Valley. It was drizzling early this morning but e weather improved as the day wore on. Bienvenida party for our Abalayans--Nenita and Mauricio--in San Mateo, who are flying to Canada on November1. Paning and Henrick went with us. Food served include a whole lechon chopped to small bits, patatim, salad of cabbage, yellow corn kernels; chicken chopped to pieces. Cola drinks and alkaline water, which I choose. Had more than a half glass of Matador brandy with no ice. It's quarter to three PM. In the recently- formed Asian Basketball League, Singapore Slingers clash with RPs Patriots at 4'oclock in Singapore. There will be a live telecast.
Authorities are now removing communities built in high-risked areas--mountainsides, along rivers, creeks. This, in the wake of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng that devastated towns and cities in Luzon, notably Metro Manila, Cagayan, Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Norte, Baguio, Benguet and other localities in the Cordilleras. Relocating people is the most sensible thing to do. Forest should forest grow without hosting houses and other structures.
