Disaster with out a warning

Typhoons and storms are rampant in our country. The past years Philippine is visited by the strongest typhoon in the history. Many lives and property were lost. But still time and again our people still don't know what to expect and the government still don't have concrete measure for these disasters.

The only solutions for this is to respect and protect mother nature, they are the only long term protection for our Kabayan and for the Philippines.

But if you are given a choice, which is better our typhoon of the videos below.





For me the storm is enough.

Funny President

Wish our politicians are candid and should show their lighter side.

Who knows someone might actually believe they are funny.

Watch how the president of the U.S. of A. his funny side.
