AN APPEAL FOR PRAYER FOR MYANMAR

Myanmar after the 7.7 intensity quake
on Friday, March 28.


As I personally rejoice on Friday the successful run of young Filipina–Alex Eala, 19, who cemented her professional rank from over 140 to 75, ending this year’s Miami tennis, I was clueless that the people in our neighboring countries Thailand and Myanmar were experiencing a deadly phenomenon. 

On Friday, March 28, about 12:50 noontime, the people of Myanmar and Thailand were rocked by a 7.7 intensity earthquake. Fortunately, there were no Filipinos reportedly hurt from the tragedy, but sadly for Myanmar the death toll—as of Saturday was said to have reached 1644, according to the Myanmar government. 

While rescue efforts are still continuing, the number of local people injured have so far ballooned to 3,400, and missing people were accounted for 139 after the quake jolted Mandalay region which is said to be the epicenter in Myanmar. As for Thailand, there were 10 people who were reported to have died from the quake.

To everyone, whatever your religion and faith is, let us join together and PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF MYANMAR, let us embrace them through prayers they need it badly.
