My Thought go out to all those people who are affected by Such were the vivid scenarios of the 7.2 earthquake that struck Central Visayas and other parts of Mindanao Houses and buildings shaking violently. Panic-stricken residents running for safety outside in streets and open spaces. Fear and fright mixed with consternation and concern for loved ones. Death and devastation in the aftermath. Such were the vivid scenarios of the 7.2 earthquake that struck Central Visayas and other parts of Mindanao at 8:12 morning of October 15. A neighbor commented: “I thought it was the end of the world!” Another said: “Nawala akong poise!” (I lost my poise). Good thing, its timing was perfect. It was a holiday, students were home, morning masses were done and the malls were still to open. Otherwise, the harm could have been bigger. When natural disaster like this happens, we tend to lose our sense of control. We literally loose our poise because our survival mode takes over us. When the dust settles down, we are just thankful and blest we are still alive. Others, in fact, lost theirs. The saddest part of it, many families and communities especially in the province of Bohol suffered greater damage in quality of life. They even lack the most basic needs such as food, water and medicine.
