My prayers
goes out to all those who were affected by the earthquake which struck the
province of Bohol and some nearby cities. The Earthquake occurred at around 8am
this morning which took the lives of many. It was estimated to be a 7.2
magnitude quake which has damaged several buildings and old historic churches among
them was the country's oldest, the 16th-century Basilica of the Holy Child in Cebu,
which lost its bell tower and nearly half of a 17th-century limestone church in
Loboc town, was reduced to rubble. It was fortunate that today we are
celebrating the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha for our Muslim brothers which
may have saved more lives because classes are suspended as declared by National
Government.
Also added
to this, the view deck of the famous Chocolate Hills lies in its ruins and as of
this time 10 churches have been damaged wherein some of which are over 400
years old and the death toll has risen to 93…
Let us all
pray for those who are affected… May the good Lord bless us all and keep them/us
from further harm… =(
