Japan after the storm

After the devastation of the Earthquake, Tsunami and now the nuclear disaster, the Japanese people remain calm and dignified. I couldn’t imagine what our reaction will be should the same thing happen to the Philippines, God forbid. For sure, grabe ang ating atungal especially if the media is covering us. You can never see it in Japan. Their media showed restraint, no irresponsible reporting just like in the Philippines.


Despite the tragedy, you’ll be impressed by the Japanese capabilities to build strong buildings that did not fall despite the magnitude of the earthquakes. If the same thing happens in the Philippines, God forbid again, the first buildings to fall are the government built infrastructures. Do I have to say it loudly why they’ll fall? Everyone knows naman dahil sa corruption, for sure, substandard ang mga materials.

The Japanese are crazy about the order but it works for them because people tend to respect other people’s belongings. There’s no looting, robbery or people taking advantage of the situation. People wait for their turn in the queues and there are no exceptions. Children and the olds know what they should do and they did it.

There was a time in the history that the Japanese people were the most hated race in the world. They’ve learned from their mistakes from the past. The tragedy that struck the Japanese affected so many people the world over. It however brought the best out of the Japanese people. It will take years for the victims and Japan to recover. But with the Japanese resilience I know that they’ll recover. I just can’t say when but they will and I will be praying for them.
