Passing the test

In his traditional Christmas message to the Filipino people delivered the other day, President Benigno Aquino 3rd said the back-to-back calamities that the Philippines suffered in the last quarter of this year should be treated as a test of our spirit.

If so, then we are proud to say that we Filipino people have passed the test. Perhaps not with flying colors, but we passed and continue to pass the test of our resolve to return to normal following a killer earthquake in Bohol and Super Typhoon Yolanda leveling large parts of Central Visayas.
