Editorial: Who Should Be Blamed?

After the super typhoon Ondoy, Luzon areas were suffering a lot. Their houses were destroyed of the strong wind and heavy rain. But is this a normal effect of a typhoon?

A typhoon will only destroy some properties but it will not make a flood that will reach houses' roofs.

This huge flood that occurred in Luzon is not just because of a natural phenomenon, it is really because of people's abuse to nature. Over population, illegal logging and pollution are some causes of the terrifying incident that happened in Luzon and some areas in Visayas.

Because of huge population, people find it hard to find job so they can't supply their needs like food and shelter. Due to property, illegal logging become their source of income. Some of the rich people like government officials and businessmen also contribute a lot to the destruction of our nature. They headed the cutting of trees but never replace them.

Pollution is one primary cause of the big floods that had occurred in some parts of the Philippines. Because of the garbages specially plastics and cellophanes that were thrown everywhere, the dikes where water flow were trapped with garbage and it cannot flow normally so water level rises and this causes flood.

Government offficials specially the environmentals should monitor our environment and be a model to take care our nature.

People who suffered because of typhoon Ondoy didn't recovered yet.

All of us should now be aware that life is really an echo. It gives back what we have given. So let's take care of our nature so thatit will also care for us. Let us save nature and save lives.
