Good morning!!!
As at 6am today, the tropical depression being tracked by US Navy weather ships is now not going to make a direct hit on Bicol, if ever it becomes a full blowm storm or even a typhoon. Current location is north of Yap Island and Palau, just west of Saipan, moving westwards at 24kph with winds at 65kph, and heading for the island of Samar, south of Bicol.
According to our "weather experts" here, it is far too early to tell whether this depression will actually develop into a storm, as it has been gathering speed.
But authorities here have issued the alert signals anyway to inform people that such a depression exists, in order to get everybody at a constantly high level of readiness. We will continue with our planned activities today (in Tagaytay), unless expressly advised by local authorities, who know how to handle these situations.
We will take precautions, and God will do the rest.
The teens are still slowly rising at this time, while a hearty Singaporean breakfast awaits them. Pray for us, folks!!!
Fr Andrew ---- thanks for your good wishes and we hope we can be mentioned in the intercessory prayers at all masses this weekend. - Al
