Photos of the Aftermath of Ondoy Storm

The following photos were taken on September 28, 2009 in the aftermath of Ondoy, it is called Ketsana internationally. I rode a cart while taking the photos, paid the driver 30 pesos for the one-way ride.

These were all taken in Sto. Tomas, Pasig City.

Mangatyanan

MANGATYANAN will have a one-week run at Robinson’s Galleria in EDSA Blvd, Metro Manila on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 to September 22, 2009. Show starts every 12:00 noon.

This movie was created by Jerrold Tarog, the same guy who did the Confessional. Confessional was really good, i hope this one has the same quality, although it got good reviews from those who already watched it, especially from the movie critics.

Manilablog Has Been Hacked!

Manilablog.com has been under attacked by hackers and spammers. I panicked. I thought i had it properly backed up. I should have been slow in reacting about the situation.

Although nothing obvious can be seen from the front. The spammers/hackers injected something that they are able to sign up a thousands of users in the blog. Although, this site does not accept “back end users,” except in the forums.

I deleted about 30 articles that i wont be able to retrieve them. But i will try to contact my webhost for a backup, i hope they have one. The latest backup i’ve had was February, 2009.

Update: My site is now back, thank God for my host!
