It was a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze on the missionary youth's day out of the hostel. But first things first -- the storm.
The tropical storm will enter the Philippine area of responsibility this evening and was 1,130 east of Bicol as at 4 pm today. Get your google earth and zoom in to coordinates 13.9°N, 135.5°E to have a visual of the location. International name is Dolphin, but it will be known as Ulysses in the Philippines.
According to the weather bureau here, Ulysses has intensified to 85km/h near its centre, with maximum gusts of 100km/h, and moving westwards towards Bicol at 19km/h.
Again, looking at your google earth, please look for Virac, Philippines. The storm is forecast to be 760km east of this town Sunday afternoon; 490km east by Monday afternoon, and 390km east by Tuesday.
Authorities have so far not raised any public storm signals.
Meanwhile, our party of 9 missionary youths and parents are still scheduled to fly back home on Sunday. Please pray for their safe passage.
It was a relatively light day for everybody today. We visited four churches - the Assumption Parish in Guinobatan, the 400 year-old St John the Baptist Parish in Camalig, the 300 year-old Our Lady of the Gate parish in Daraga, and the St Gregory's Cathedral in Legazpi City where our young people bought loads of religious and gift items for their loved ones at home.
At the Lady of the Gate Parish in Daraga, near Legazpi City
The rest of the day was spent at the city's Pacific Mall, where the young ones had a fiesta at Jollibee, a field day buying up every shoe that they can lay their hands on, as well as hoarding 3 guitars from the music store.
We were back at the hostel by 5pm.
The party leaving for home on Sunday are due to attend mass (in Bicol language) at 6pm Saturday evening. They are expected back in Singapore by 11.55pm.
Please pray for us as we serve the 9am Mass in English tomorrow.
