Watching the news since the Super Typhoon Yolanda slammed the Philippines has been heartbreaking and it's becoming more and more heartbreaking day by day. But on a positive note, it's really overwhelming to know that many Filipinos and even other nationalities are eager to help our countrymen in their own ways; proof that the spirit of Bayanihan already became worldwide.
I've also been keeping my eye on the Social Media as well these past few days which became an instrument to disseminate different means to help and to inspire everyone to be of help. So what's really the point of this blogpost, if you may ask? Well, I'm not going to dictate what one can do in this time of tragedy but I just want to give you a friendly reminder. There is no doubt that everyone has a heart to give a helping hand but let us just remember that our good deeds should be motivated by a SINCERE desire to help our brothers and sisters who are in need.
The Social Media, indeed, has been a powerful tool but let us also be responsible netizens. Instead of sharing malicious information from unverified sources or taking advantage of the situation for public recognition, let's just offer what we can do to help sincerely and wholeheartedly. And most importantly, PRAY. It really works.
