And we thought we have it all, us being dumping ground of the United States military equipment. We can only lament as we look at the faces of mothers carrying their young, while trudging against the raging currents of Ondoy. We can only despair as the very old and the very young women scamper to flee from what once were friendly roads, now scenes straight from the story of Noah's Ark.
