The face of Kalibo

July 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I called Luzette to let her know ate Janet and I has arrived at the Kalibo airport, she then told me she’s on her way and that she and Mark already bought us Masks…I asked why? and she replied in quite an alarming voice “Mam, mabaho ang Kalibo at madumi, baka mag ka outbreak ng sakit!”

(Ma’m Kalibo stinks and very dirty, there might be a disease outbreak”).

Being an Aklanon, i couldn’t imagine Kalibo to be smelly and dirty…but true enough it is…along the way, I saw Kalibo town folks lining up for some relief goods especially rice. Garbage piling..the MMDA and the local sweepers can not keep up. Even inside the Gaisano department store, people are wearing masks.

The face of Kalibo is terrible…I can see in peoples eyes mixed emotions of fear, uncertainty, hopelessness.

To some who were not affected badly, theyre just happy that theyre alive and can go out again.

What about those who were left with their loved ones gone forever…still homeless and no enought money for food, no decent clothes to wear,no roof on their heads, nothing to keep them warm at night?We were told that the hospital is filled with sick people.
