POSTSCRIPT By Federico D. Pascual Jr. (The Philippine Star) Updated August 09, 2012 12:00 AM
LISTEN: I did not see yesterday the promised biblical rainbow, supposedly a token of a no-more-flood Covenant with God. But the sun finally broke, although briefly, through the rain clouds hanging over us.
The floodwaters have subsided somewhat in the nation’s capital and nearby provinces. Like ants, people have started to pick up the pieces. That is good enough in the meantime, considering it could have been worse.
At the height of the floods on Aug. 7, I (@FDPascual) posted on Twitter: “Through flood and rain, LISTEN… God seems to be telling us something.”
