Today, I battle with the
rest of my 70+ employees as we brave the storm “Maring.” Yesterday was still manageable
at work but today was different. I
received a phone call from my mom that our home was already affected by the
flooding in the area (that sucks!) and I was texting all my line managers to
check on their safety as well as their teams. At the same time I was asked by
my 7 bosses for some urgent deliverables. Today was not a good day for
everyone. Work was easy to deliver what I cannot fathom is seeing my people stranded
in the office with no food. Yes, they have shelter but times like this, they
should be with their family (aren’t we all?). I know I can only do so much for
them. I welcome them in my home for shelter, for food and for anything else
that I can give. I hope those people who can help will provide assistance without
the order. This is the time we need to unite as Filipinos. Let’s pray for the Philippines.
