X-Marce: Man Loves, Storms Kill

Recurring President of the Philippines, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., takes the lead in battling the violent winds. By directing the government agencies into action, Marcos seizes the typhoon by the throat to defend his people from peril.

“You all know the drill.” This is a reminder that this is not our first time encountering such dangers. Do as you have learned from memory and experience. This shall be the battle all Filipinos get to participate in countless times.

A storm has many traits we Filipinos need to consider. Like a personality with many complexities. The wind, the thunder, the flood. There are many things needed to be prepared before, during, and after a storm.

With every attack of the storm comes a counter from our side. A storm too strong to face means retreat through evacuation. For every flood comes a drainage system ready to unclog the debris, along with the occasional swimmers who see the flood as one big pool. It just means every strike calls for a parry.

This is our home so we stand our ground. Neither disaster nor aliens should take it away from us. That is who we are; brave-blooded warriors with the spirit of eagles. Fearless as we are, our priority is still the survival of our fellow brothers and sisters.
