The farmer must have pray so hard. This is some of the comforting words of the villagers when the rain never wanted to stop again. It’s been raining in the Ilocos Region since yesterday, just like the other week.
Actually, the dragonflies are flying very low, some indication that rain will continue in the next few days. That is according to some of the superstition of our old folks in the village, though some contradict it. But with or without the low flying dragonfly, rain is eminent in the region. It’s because of the of typhoon Dindo hovering in the its area of responsibility and that includes or province.
According to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical Services and Administration or PAG-ASA said the typhoon is having 160 kilometers per hour of wind and gustiness of 195 kph. It is also moving northeast which mean we may never be affected by its power and harsh.
No typhoon storm warning signal in our province that does not mean we are already spared. The monsoon rain is what battering the whole place. The continued rain is happening and causing a wet place in our province. Its been raining yesterday and now the sun never slip to peep the whole community. The thick dark clouds are hiding the sun rays and the weather bureau said this might continue until the next day.
No happy playing for the children because the parents are strict to let them to play under the rain. But the farmers are rejoicing because they don’t need to buy liters of gasoline just to water their rice fields. The rainfed area are the biggest beneficiary and the irrigated might be thanking as well.
“It’s okay as long as no strong wind,” said Ronald, a neighborhood who said the rain are more beneficial now especially that rice plants are rapidly growing.
He has point and its really giving us support to our food security program.

We should be grateful that our earth workers were able to plow their farmlands. They are the hero of our life in sustaining our lives. If they don't work anymore, we can't have food on the table especially the staple rice. I hope they can uplift themselves on their status in life.
I think rain is extremely important to everyone whether you ar3 a farmer or not. The only thing I can say is that rain in th3 city sometimes can be a nuisance to the residents there because it ripples up a lot of things. Like for example when you think about driving to work in the morning or evening you will always be caught up in the jam, meaning you have to wake up extremely early to get to work on time, then you have to sacrifice something's because you will leave the office late and get home late. So this are some of the inconveniences that people have to go through in th3 city when it rains. In fact most people in my country would rather use public means to get to where they're going as opposed to using their cars, because you and up using too much petrol on the roads stuck in jams. For th3 farmer in the village to him rain is a blessing just like you ha e said. That is what they want and need so that their crops do not for it either in the hot sun. And we all know that when there is no rain food is a little bit scarce and it becomes very expensive. So when it rains they know that at th3 and of the day they will at least sell their produce and be able to take care of their families and also get some income out of it. So either way rain helps people in different ways there are those who do taxi business that's also an opportunity for them to make money during those days. People ask willing to pay some extra money just to be dropped at their door step without having to hassle for public means.
rain is most important for all of us because it is rain that irrigates our land where there is no well water or electric pump water. It is most important for farmers in the villages and mountains where there is no way to plant the field.
Rain is the means by which fresh water is created; when it evaporates, water leaves behind its salt. ... Rain fills aquifers, and it keeps rivers and lakes filled.
Humans depend on fresh water for survival. While it is possible to remove salt from ocean water through a process called desalinization, it is expensive, and the cost of transporting water inland is prohibitively costly. Rain fills aquifers, and it keeps rivers and lakes filled. Forms of life that depend on rivers would not have evolved without rain.
Rain has a number of effects on the environment. Many canyons and other natural features were shaped by rainwater eroding surfaces. The Grand Canyon was created by a river, which was fueled by rainfall. Many species of life in the ocean depend on minerals that flow from the land to the sea. Without rainwater, they would not be able to survive.
We cannot neglect the importance of rain in human life on earth. We must be thankful to God for rain.
