Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng were the most destructive weather disturbances that smashed the Philippines in decades. It practically destroyed the whole of Luzon with floods and landslides and brought deaths to hundreds--at least 580 perished in the floods and the landslides especially in Benguet and the resort city Baguio, where more than 40 people where buried when the mountainside where they built their houses in Asin crashed down because of the relentless rains.
Rescue efforts are still being done especially in Pangasinan where more than 1000 people were stranded at the SM Rosales mall. Acces to Baguio is still difficult. There were landslides along Marcos highway while the Sison bridge was destroyed. The Ilocano Bible Centennial Celebration will be held at the Burgos gym of the Saint Louis University in Baguio on October 17. I will be delivering a 3-minute talk on my experiences as a translator of the whole Bible (Naimbag a Damag Bible) including the apochrypha of the Catholics.
