The Lessons We Learned: Preface

Eight months after Typhoon Haiyan, all the mess that the storm left has already been cleared out and things are now back to normal. Life here have already re-sprung but the memory of the great storm is still implanted in the minds of those who have experienced it. Indeed, Haiyan has induced unimaginable damage and casualties to various regions in the country. It has traumatized thousands who have lost their homes, livelihood, and their loved ones. Pondering on these things still saddens us; but we must also realize that this catastrophic event left us with many valuable lessons – lessons that would prepare us for the future, lessons to avoid the mistakes of the past. To conclude this blog, I have decided to compose "The Lessons We Learned" - which would be a series of essays reflecting on the different realities brought upon by the great storm.
