Catastrophy in Japan

I am sad and very worried about the historical disaster that currently happens in Japan. It is the coincidence of 4 catastrophies, each alone already with terrible impact, and we have all four happening at the same time. First, the Japanese experienced the probably biggest earthquake in human history. Next, there was the Tsunami which took probably thousands of people's life and destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes. Then there was a volcano eruption, and that would in normal days be a big news on TV, but nowadays it nearly disappears in the massive amount of other bad news from Japan. And finally, there is the dramatic failure of the nuclear powerplant, which, as of today, might become the biggest nuclear catastrophy since the invention of non-military use of nuclear energy.

The Philippines are far away from Japan and we are probably relatively safe. Not as safe as people in USA or Europe, still the distance between the Philippines and Japan is about 3000km (2000miles). But our own daily problems suddenly look small compared to what happens right now in Japan. And let's not forget the thousands of Filipinos who are currently working in Japan or are there in school as exchange students, and who are currently suffering from the situation in Japan. And last but not least, lets not forget the Japanese people themselves. They all need our prayer!
