It's been almost a month since Yolanda struck our country. It's been one surreal experience for those who survived and a great loss to everyone. I myself was too busy coordinating on the retrieval of some relatives who lived in Tacloban when I was asked this question: "What will happen to those victims who have previous loans in the bank, credit cards to pay, jewelries or valuable items kept safe inside the bank?

Earlier this month, I wrote "The Consequences of Loosing a Loved One - Part 1". And with that, my mother sent me, my brother and sister a message as a response to my post.

Mind you, this is the first time that we really discussed about the loss of our father... Photo by vincent BOCOGNANI Mama: Hi Hon, good job on your blog. I am so proud of you as a writer.
