We also have all sants day and all souls day on November 1 and 2. These days however individual tombs are discouraged and therefore wonder how long this ritual will last. Many are opting for cremation

Yes you say right when president of any country defends self in stead of public he has no rights to rule the country. He must resign anon for the betterment of country but it does not so all the presidents of the whole world always defend selves and let the followers die on the road.

It is just due to democracy that is the best way to befool the public because they get votes via democracy and after elected they do what they want it is entirely against democracy.

I have pondered over the nature of democracy it creates monarchy in the country because votes are got in the name of democracy and after this they do as they wish and this situation makes president scary and timid.

Such peoples cannot defend country from enemies that is why they keep security with self on which countless money spent means the money of public but they embezzle the money self in the name of democracy.

Very nice and well done the president of Philippine President Rody Duterte expressed his feelings about OFW is a brave statement and en courageous step for the defense of Philippine workers.

Actually the president wanna say to the overseas Philippine workers that of someone grabs your money you at once slap his mouth to protect his money and body but if you cannot do so , you must making a noise on the road to call for the people to support.

The best counsel is giving the president of Philipino slap or make a noise to protect self. I think this statement will encourage the overseas workers’s hearts.

Every president must do so to encourage the inhabitants of any country living abroad to earn bread and butter for the families.

Many overseas workers will be anxious to meet their friends and family and if Airport Authorities rob these people of their hard earned money there is no meaning of visiting this place. That is why there are many people who are avoiding to visit Philippines nowadays.

There is a drop of 12% overseas workers this year as compared to the last year.

No doubt, Mr. Rody Duterte is right in giving such advice but the problem is how and when they will use this technique is beyond the comprehension of a traveler. It has become an inevitable evil. Nobody will put the Bullet in the luggage right in front of the visitor. If it is noticed then only the advice can work out properly.

I have also read that a heavy typhoon appeared and too much devastation made the typhoon as a result many a couples of persons died and injured but what can anyone do against it because it is a natural catastrophe. The GOVT must take protective measures against it to save human lives. People are facing many types of problems I think God will help the victims surely.

There was a large number of human lives. Many have become homeless and some stayed away from their houses even for days. The effect was felt more in Haiti and about 80,000 have lost their lives.

Though the intensity was there equally in Ilocos Sur and other parts there was only damage to the houses and property but not human lives. This time the Government has taken effective alert management system and evacuated many from the dangerous area well in advance.

Yes, faith plays an important role in human life but love, hope and faith all these are the children of human soul. And all the miracles on earth are the wonders of faith. Your article is beautiful and informative.

I totally agree that it is the faith which gives the power. This is the ultimate truth not confined to only one religion but almost all religions of the world.One need not have a religion but if he got faith he can drive himself safely out of the trouble. This is what one should know about the basic principle laying behind every religion.

This is a very heart felt post.Our level of faith and spirituality goes up and down. Sometimes when we are safe and comfortable, we forget our faith. When we are sick, in danger or facing some problem, we call out to God to help us and it is true that in trials we are closer to God.

When someone thinks it will be so in modern term is called faith. But we must know the real root of is trust if God and fear of God. Man is a wonderful thing, he hopes to be good keeping in mind God’s mercilessness but what God says we do not act upon it what a beautiful thinking of earthly men.

Give me your ear and understand this example; if someone comes to see you at home and you say sit for a while the tea is coming but the order was not given to make tea, if you faith the will come it will not come because you have fulfilled the law of order. Keep milk, water and tea mixing a pot and when sit for a while tea is coming it will come because you completed the law of God It is faith cos you have completed the law of God to make tea.

we do not fulfilled the law of God and have faith is useless theoretically and practically. If we are thankful to God catastrophes will not come upon human being of any type. All types of natural evils are the sign of warning for human being to be thankful to God otherwise an other evil is ready for you.

But earthly men do not understand it and consider it natural calamities and destruction occurring according to the laws of nature. But it is not so as we think in real life. Read the whole holy books all types of natural catastrophes are warnings for men to avoid bad deeds against human beings and God’

Natural calamities are the punishment of God for men but men do not understand it knowingly. We must be thankful to God 24 hours because God’s blessings are more on man.

You are lucky that your place was spared from the wrath of Lawin. You said that there was no casualty in your place. But in other place, it was reported that there were 8 dead and 2 were missing. This is the second super typhoon that hit the Philippines. The first one was in 2013 at the province of Tacloban. It was typhoon Yolanda. There were many casualties had been reported. They even reached to 10,000. Tacloban was badly hit or totally devastated by typhoon Yolanda.

The people there mourned for several days or even months. That incident was highly politicized. It became the issue on the latest Presidential elections. It became the source of all forms of anomalies, graft and corruption. That brought the non winning of Presidential aspirant Mar Roxas because of the issue of non delivery of the welfare goods to the victims of the typhoon. it’s indeed the worst governance whatsoever.

Typhoons are natural disasters may appear in any country with the decree of God but lucky are those remained safe in this typhoon destruction someone said that only eight peoples died and were saved by the stroke of luck. May Allah preserve all the peoples the victims of the horrible typhoon.

I have oftenly wondered how those typhoons get their names. Maybe you can share on that so that we know how they come about. Typhoon Mario, halima you know it may sound funny to us but we don’t laught at the situation just the names amaze me. Anyway first and foremost i feel really sad when I watch on television to see how these typhoons wreck havoc and leave people homeless and poor. Starting off all over again is usually th3 hardest thing that anyone would have to go through. The first time I saw it on tv it was when it swept through Florida I think I can’t even remember the name, it was very popular and I saw how it swept over buildings, cars, brideges and stuff it looked like a horror movie to me. You know this are things we watch only on tv sometimes and it is a devastaing time for The residents. In our country they are just normal floods not typhoons. Anyway it’s a good thing that no deaths were reported and that people came out safe.

Typhoons are quite natural in the Philippines. The people adjusted themselves to the adverse circumstances and other natural calamities. The frequent typhoons in the regions have taught a lot of lessons to the Filipinos.

The last typhoon has made them how to equip themselves to the natural disaster. The Disaster Management and Warning signal system have contributed a lot in the timely evacuation of the people from the typhoon-affected areas. The people were informed well in advance. Necessary food and water supply arrangements have already been taken up on war footing basis.

The previous presidents though responded effectively there was a loss of human lives in the previous typhoon. The people were made to stay above the trees for days together. The food supply system was not alerted. The rescue operations were not taken up in time. Everything was politicized and the opposition tried to make use of the situation to the maximum benefit of winning the elections.

The president is different now. The people are feeling the responsibility now. They are no more irresponsible and inactive. Everything is taking up as per planning with devotion and dedication.

Typhoons are very dangerous.May Allah save us all from these disasters.I red about this in Newspaper and watched on you tube i can feel how hard it will be for the people over there.We experienced Earthquake in Pakistan in 2005.It was a big deserter all the houses were damaged in our area and almost every house there were at least single death were reported.It relly was a hard time.The time was morning 8.00am when it happen mostly people are sleeping on that time that is way many people were died who were still on bed.They didnt know that they will never wakeup again.
