Typhoon Frank's "visit" to the Philippine archipelago last June 21, 2008 caused a lot of trouble to a lot of my fellow Filipinos: flood, sunken ship, darkness, dead people, and lost bunch of dreams...As I watch the ongoing rescue on the few survivors of the sunken ship (MV Princess of the Stars, a Sulpicio Line vessel), I can't help but feel deep sorrow especially for those who, the dead innocent passenger's have left behind - relatives and love ones whose agony and heart breaks they are feeling by the mere lost of these victims under the sea and see them float, lifeless, afterwards....
There should have been happy and heartwarming scenes when these victims reached their destinations safely. Their should have been lots of family gatherings and not mournings when these victims have been able to celebrate with their love ones, the very reason why they were on-board that ship. There should have been laughter and not loud cries and moanings begging for help, for a little air and not water filling their lungs.... Their should have been life and not death... Their should have been hope and dreams and not dead-ends...
