At long last, 
after several weeks of no rain at all in Cebu City, 
the rain has come in significant amount. 
It's like a breath of fresh air 
having gone through hot and uncomfortable weather 
for the past months of March and April 2019. 
Now the ground is finally wet 
and this rain may help add water to the dried-up dams. 
Water has been rationed, 
giving water to some areas while shutting down a lot more. 
And this marked my 1st time experiencing no water 
for more than 20 hours in Englis, V. Rama, Cebu City 
in decades. 
And no water during the day and only at night 
and a lot of times only in the early morning for few hours. 
And I had to open the faucet all the time 
so I could hear the water when it comes. 
No water schedule posted whatsoever 
and a lot of times we had to wake up
​in the wee hours of the morning 
just to save water in large containers. 
People everywhere were buying large containers to store water. 
But still very thankful about my situation 
unlike in many places in the city 
when there's no water for several days 
that they have to be delivered by firetrucks 
and distributed to the community. Very sad. 

The booming city of Cebu, Philippines 
is one big and welcoming news for everyone, 
but the water shortage makes you wanna live somewhere else 
especially when you never experienced such thing before.

appeared during a storm

Violence erupted which were related to the
​BOL (Bangsamoro Organic Law) Plebiscite 
in Mindanao, Philippines. 
No progress and prosperity in this region 
when things like these happen. 
It will not be a safe place for investors and businesses. 
Hoping for unity and peace not just in Mindanao, 
but for the entire Philippines. ​

The Black Nazarene or Poong Itim Na Nazareno
is a life-size, dark-skinned image 
of a kneeling Jesus Christ carrying the Cross 
who is enshrined in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene
in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines since 1787.
It arrived in the Philippines from Mexico in 1606. 
It is considered by many Catholics to be miraculous,
curing diseases by a mere touch.
