Typhoon Emong has etched its name on the history of Bolinao. The typhoon made a terrible land fall in Bolinao, Pangasinan on Thursday May 7, 2009 at about 7pm.

In less than an hour, the whole place is already in chaos. Houses were destroyed, roads were blocked due to fallen trees and sadly the number of persons who died as a result of typhoon “Emong” is devastatingly high and some are still missing. Most of the fatalities are fishpen and fishcage caretakers who stayed on their makeshift huts beside the fish pen oblivious that Emong is the strongest typhoon Bolinao will ever experience.

Most of my friends can’t still believe what happened. According to them they have never experienced a typhoon as strong as Emong. Imagine… at least 80-90 percent of the houses are damaged by the typhoon, most of them are beyond repair.

But with the cooperation of the town people and good hearted citizen of the world, aid is rushing to Bolinao to help them recover.

And, hopefully soon - Bolinao will rise up again and prove that no storm can destroy Bolinao – a paradise place.

I have decided to post here in my blog some of the stories I have gathered about Typhoon Emong in Bolinao. We all know how devastating the typhoon has been to the town of Bolinao as well as in Anda, Alaminos and other part of Luzon.

But behind the horrifying stories, what was left for us to do now is to inspire one another and believe that God is still good.

Here is a touching story published in inquirer on May 13, 2009

Touching

Mayor Nestor Pulido of Anda said that if there was something touching at the height of the typhoon that night, it was the willingness of people to open their homes even to strangers who were in distress.

He said owners of big houses in the villages invited their neighbors, whose houses’ roofs were blown away, to take shelter for the night.

“I was touched to know that many people were opening their homes to the victims,” he said.

Mayor Alfonso Celeste of Bolinao shared Pulido’s experience. He said some big houses in Bolinao had been turned into evacuation centers. “This was because our schools were destroyed; our church lost its roof,” Celeste said. “The best in everyone really comes out in a disaster like this.”

Pulido said seeing people help one another and take care of each other had made the disaster easier to bear. He said his town’s preparation before the typhoon helped ease the people’s sufferings. “At least, di sila masyadong kawawa (They didn’t look too pitiful),” he added.

Celeste said people should have learned a very important lesson from this disaster: “Dapat sundin na nila ang mga warning namin (They should now heed our warning).”

He said many caretakers died because they refused to leave the fish pens and cages they were watching despite the warning.

“We went around the coastal areas with a public address system to warn them that a strong typhoon was coming,” Celeste said. “Despite this, may pumalaot pa rin (some people still went to sea).”

But more than this, the Bolinao people’s experience from Emong may have been a “wake-up call.”

“Maybe, we should go back to God,” Celeste said.

The local officials led by Gov. Amado Espino Jr., Mayor Alfonso Celeste of Bolinao and Mayor Nestor Pulido of Anda did all the necessary preparation when they learned that “Emong” would directly hit their place but, only to realize that no amount of disaster preparedness would shield them from the wrath of Typhoon Emong.

Here is the overwhelming aftermath of the typhoon according to the Mayors posted in Inquirer.

“The destruction was overwhelming. We were like in a war zone,” said Pulido, whose town’s aquaculture industry was almost wiped out. Two persons died and 95 percent of all the houses on the island lost their roofs.

Celeste said an old-time Bolinao resident had told him it was the strongest typhoon ever to hit the town. At least 20 people, mostly caretakers of fish pens and cages, died and four others were reported missing.

Like in Anda, 95 percent of Bolinao’s aquaculture industry was destroyed by the typhoon. Ninety percent of the houses in the town also lost their roofs.

“We were no match to the typhoon. It was simply too strong,” Celeste said.

But he said the municipal government’s preparedness still saved many lives. As early as 5:30 p.m. on May 7, when “Emong” began pummeling the town, rescue teams had been moving people to various evacuation centers.

“We were able to respond immediately and attend to their needs,” he said.

Pulido said had they not been prepared, thousands of people in his town could have gone hungry the following day.

While a team distributed food, other groups cleared the roads of fallen trees and other debris. The clearing operations, however, turned out easier said than done.

Even members of the provincial disaster coordinating council, led by Gov. Amado Espino Jr., under the pelting rain and strong winds that night, were stranded in Bani town.

Scores of concrete electrical posts along the highway were knocked down. Espino had to call for heavy equipment to clear the roads.

We’ve been to Patar, Bolinao!

It took the Busby SEO Test team and some friends almost 1 hour and thirty minutes to reach Patar from Alaminos, mainly because of the rough-road detour at Bani since the bridge before the town proper is under renovation effective December 10, 2008.

The long stretch of shoreline is a feast to the eye. Along the way, we passed by some of the infamous resorts of Bolinao like Puerto Del Sol, Punta Riviera and Treasures of Bolinao; some caves and the famed Cape Bolinao Lighthouse but our destination is actually at the end of the road, where the white sand beach is just as beautiful and untouched by artificial enhancement, and yet still pocket friendly.

Patar Beach overlooks the vast expanse of the South China Sea. Aside from the “kotong” videoke, (the defective machine eats your P5.00 like cookie monster ), and the large waves, we definitely enjoyed our Christmas party at the beach. The trip was even made memorable by the new relationships formed namely Budong and Emily, Bendix and Rhoda, James01 and Arlene, and Palos and the “trio” - the lovers in Patar; our wacky SEO master. AIE OJTs and TJ the lost Balikbayan!

The trip down to the white sand of Patar, Bolinao was long and bumpy, but definitely, it was all worth it!

Facilities at the public area:

Cottage which can accommodate 20 pax cost Php 200-300

Videoke Rentals – Php 5.00 per song

Modest Comfort Rooms

Whoohoo!

Another, beauty queen was added on Pinay Beauty list… Miss Karla Paula Henry is 2008 Miss Earth beauty pageant winner. She bested 90 contestants from all over the world. And, I believe, her winning factor is her confidence and brainpower.

Even if she didn’t win a Bb. Pilipinas title, at least she got a better crown on her head. The “eight wonder of the world” Miss Earth 2008.

I really thought, Billy Crawford (the host) will call on Miss Tanzania as the winner. But, even if Miss Tanzania is not the typical Molato or fair skinned beauty queens, I still find her beautiful and oozing with confidence. Maybe if she didn’t stammered on the last part of her answer to the question, maybe it could have been her. hehehe

The final question asked to the four remaining contestants was:

“What would you tell US president-elect Barack Obama about the state of the global environment if ever you were to meet him?”

And, Miss Earth Philippines’ answer?

“Environmental knowledge is something that all of us must share, but most importantly we must teach the youth that this is something that we should instill in them so that in the near future they will be the ones to take care of our mother Earth.”

By the way, I find it ironic that both Mirriam Quiambao and Ruffa Guttierez, were defeated by a black beauty queen, at least now Karla Paula Henry, won the title.
