TACLOBAN TRIPPED

With Morex last Sunday the 29th December 2013, the Observer motored the route to Tacloban City via Benit, San Ricardo. That was a two hour run being first timer and familiarization of the 104 kilometer distance from where the roro embarked. After jogging the San Juanico bridge for 15 minutes and upon return to Surigao City the next day, a cousin asked, "How is Tacloban?", my answer was this, "It is a picture of devastation, an illustration of death and destruction". Advent Christian Pastor and Mrs. Jesse Cases pointed out buildings and places where dead corpses were uncovered. Pastor Jesse agreed that it was "water baptism" for Tacloban and he said it is now a "new creation, or/and open city". Reconstruction and rebuilding are underway.
