Nature: There's a Rainbow always after the Rain

Kapaligiran

by: Asin

INTRO

Wala ka bang napapansin?

Sa iyong mga kapaligiran,

Kay dumi na ng hangin

Pati na ang mga ilog natin.

REFRAIN 1

Hindi nga masama ang pag-unlad

At malayu-layo na rin ang ating narating

Ngunit masdan mo ang tubig sa dagat

Dati'y kulay asul, ngayo'y naging itim.

Ang mga duming ating ikinalat sa hangin

Sa langit, 'wag na nating paabutin

Upang kung tayo'y pumanaw man

Sariwang hangin, sa langit natin matitikman.

REFRAIN 2

Mayro'n lang akong hinihiling

Sa aking pagpanaw, sana ay tag-ulan

Gitara ko ay aking dadalhin

Upang sa ulap na lang tayo magkantahan.

Ang mga batang ngayon lang isinilang

May hangin pa kayang matitikman

May mga puno pa kaya silang aakyatin

May mga ilog pa kayang lalanguyan.

REFRAIN 3

Bakit 'di natin pag-isipan

Ang nangyayari sa ating kapaligiran

Hindi nga masama ang pag-unlad

Kung hindi nakakasira ng kalikasan.

Darating ang panahon, mga ibong gala

Ay wala nang madadapuan

Masdan mo ang mga punong dati ay kay tatag

Ngayon'y namamatay dahil sa ating kalokohan.

REFRAIN 4

Lahat ng bagay na narito sa lupa

Biyayang galing sa Diyos kahit no'ng ika'y wala pa

Ingatan natin at 'wag nang sirain pa

'Pagkat 'pag Kanyang binawi, tayo'y mawawala na.

[Repeat REFRAIN 2]

I know that most of us still remebers the onslaught of Typhhon Yolanda last year in Visayan Rigions particularly in Tacloban City, Leyte.

Last May, I went to Tacloban City, Leyte for the annual Bayani Challenge. Our mission there is to help them build their houses and on our way to the build site, I saw how deadly and strong Typhoon Yolanda is, all the houses, establishments, coconut and corn fields are all devastated and washed out.

I took these photos on our 1st day in Tacloban, Leyte

As you can see, the cornfields, the mountain and the coconut fields are bald. And it will take years and years for them to grow again.

I took these photos when we are on our way to the beach

 And also, the houses near the seashore are the one's who are mostly destructed and devastated and most of the people who lives there died because of drowning. However the children living near the ocean still find happiness and enjoyment despite the trauma that they've experienced during the onslaught of super Typhoon Yolanda.

These photos were taken on our 3rd day in
Brgy. Tanauan, Tacloban City, Leyte 

The beautiful view of clouds and the ocean

That is a rainbow taken at the beautiful beach in Tacloban, Leyte

"There's a Rainbow always after the Rain" those were the lines that keeps on playing and playing in my mind when I saw a Rainbow at the beach. I realized that in every problems, struggles and calamities that we are facing we should not lose hope and courage to fight and go on with our life because no matter how heavy our problems is there is a GREAT GOD who always guide and protect us on what ever we are doing. And in return, we should have to love, protect and nurture the nature that God has given to us.
