Arroyo calls for prayers as ‘Ramil’ slows down and weakens 10/22/2009 | 12:13 PM
Typhoon “Ramil" (Lupit) may have weakened on Thursday, but President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo just the same called on Filipinos to pray that the calamity-stricken Philippines be spared from further devastation.
"Bagamat maganda ang umaga ngayon, hayaan niyong manawagan na muna ako sa inyo para sa lahat na tayo ay magdasal para sa ating taongbayan sa buong Luzon. Unang una yuong mga nawalaan ng mga minamahal na tahanan at pag-aari, at para rin sa mga nawawalaan ng pag-asa sa kinabukasan dahil sa mga kalamidad ng kalikasan," President Arroyo said in her address before a tourism summit in Batangas City in Batangas province.
(We may be enjoying good weather today, but allow me to ask you to pray for our countrymen in Luzon, especially those who have lost their homes and belongings, and those who were losing hope after these natural calamities.)
In making her call for prayers, the President cited the latest weather report, which showed Ramil was weakening and slowing down.
Ramil’s waning strength
Based on its 11 a.m. advisory, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Ramil continued to pack maximum sustained winds of 160 kilometers per hour, with gusts of 195 kph. On Wednesday, Ramil had winds of 175 kph, with gusts of 210 kph.

By her own admission, GMA (Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) rightfully assessed
that over the last decades; our republic has become one of the weakest,
steadily left behind by its more progressive neighbors.' Forty years ago,
we were only second to Japan in economic stature, and way ahead of Singapore,
Hong Kong , Malaysia , and Thailand. Today, at our present growth rate, it
will take us 30 years to get to where Thailand is.

Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)
Typhoon ONDOY (international name KETSANA) made landfall, and according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Ketsana dropped 455 mm (17.9 in) of rain on Metro Manila in a span of 24 hours on Saturday - the most in 42 years. A month's worth of rainfall in a single day washed away homes and flooded large areas, stranding thousands on rooftops in the city and elsewhere. Ketsana later crossed over to Vietnam and Cambodia, where it is still active. Over 360 people are known to have been killed, and damage estimates are reaching Billions of pesos. Unfortunately, another tropical storm may be headed toward the southern Philippines on Wednesday but is still 1,000 km (600 mi) off the coast Typhoon PEPENG ( international name PARMA).

MANILA, October 19, 2009 (AFP) - Powerful storms that claimed nearly 1,000 lives in the Philippines have also taken a heavy toll on the nation's economy, with the impoverished Southeast Asian nation expected to take years to recover.
The twin storms that pounded the main Luzon island with record rains over the past month caused billions of dollars in damage, and the government has said it will have to go further into debt to fund the reconstruction effort.
