Remembering the CDO Flood


The rain is pouring heavily again while I am working here at home near our window. I can't help but to move a little bit farther from the window since the rain is trying to find its way inside.

The rain was this heavy when the first and the worst flood happened here in Cagayan de Oro City. As I look outside, the water level is starting to go up and if this rain will not stop any minute soon, God forbids, the worst may happen again.

But what happened was not only natural calamity that there's nothing we can do like others said. We are all responsible for the cause of the calamity. Aside from the illegal and legal loggers who denuded our forests, look at our drainage.

All drainage in CDO are almost full of our trash. And who are responsible for those garbages in our canals/drainage? You and me! Let's do our little part to maintain proper sanitation in our surroundings and these calamities can be avoided.

Here in our place, the canals are full of trash again that's why the water level in our streets are going up again.

Let's discipline ourselves and try to become a responsible citizen.
