	 | "MILENYO  
        DISASTER" | 
	 | Typhoon Milenyo - 132 - 
        160kph    | 
	 | September 27-28, 2006  
        -   1:30am - 7:00 am |

	 | THESE PICTURES SPEAK OF WHAT 
       HAPPENED IN THE POBLACION AND NEARBY AREAS DURING TYPHOON MILENYO | 
	 |  | 
	 | We didn't take pictures of what was left along the 
       Ragay Gulf because nothing will come out of the pictures  | 
	 | since almost 90% of the houses built along the 
       seashores in Brgy. Poblacion, Manggagawa, Calimpak and Manlayo were 
       washed out    | 
	 | by big waves caused by very strong winds, heavy 
       downpour and the high tide. | 
	 |  | 
	 | By estimate, electricity will resume after a month 
       (that's probably within the last week of October) due to numerous 
       electrical posts and   | 
	 | transformers that were destroyed by the Typhoon.  
       Back in the old days, generators became serviceable again to both  | 
	 | households and offices.  It's good that the telephone landline resumed operation the | 
	 | following day after the typhoon while long distance and 
       internet services were irregularly provided after 4 days. | 
	 | SMART powered celphones get connected also after 4 days 
       while the GLOBE subscribers had their | 
	 | signals 6 days after the typhoon.  Of 
       course, the cable TV operation is also suspended to the dismay of the  | 
	 | KAPAMILYA viewers since BITUING WALANG NINGNING is on 
       its final week of showing (hehehe) and are also asking  | 
	 | who was eliminated in the recent expulsion night in 
       Pinoy Dream Academy  | 
	 | or if the most coveted 2 Million Pesos has been won in 
       Kris's Deal or No Deal. |
