I believe that disaster does not come from God for Lord God know not to hurt us but instead continuously love us…This is just a reminder that after all the good and beautiful things he has given us we still have the guts to destroy, knowing that it will all come back to us… I believe Filipinos are strong and they will fight this mistake with all the power and strength!
