The onslaught of two typhoons (Ondoy and Pepeng) in the Philippines has left thousands of families homeless, hungry and destitute. Nueva Ecija is one of the provinces hit hard by flooding due to heavy rains and the release of water from Pantabanga Dam. In these troubled times the spirit of bayanihan is evident and very much alive in the hearts of the faithful who shared what they have to help their brethren in need.
