With all due respect to friends of faith, I believe that the natural tragedy we are in now is not at all an "act of God". It's by all means "man-made". It's a tragic manifestation of the worsening disrespectful, hostile, and alienated relationship of human beings with nature.
Our caring and loving sense of nature and the environment has long been missing. Respect for the natural environment is most urgently needed. We have to be reconciled with nature — personally, ideologically, technologically, and policy-wise.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, we have families, friends, kababayans, fellow human beings — the victims, evacuees, as well as the rescuers and volunteers — who need our help, support, and prayers in the worst flooding that has hit Metro Manila and Luzon in recent years.
May this trying times bring out the best in human beings, and may nature show compassion and accord forgiveness to us.
