Another Sojourn to Typhoon ONDOY 2nd Anniversary Recollection

The recollection of Typhoon ONDOY 2nd Anniversary Recollection took several unintended twists that another sojourn is a must to this Blogger.

Typhoon "ONDOY" Second Anniversary - Conclusion

I could sense that many were either plain curious persons or scavengers whom I noticed picking up anything of value scattered along the way.
