Prelude: Leyte and The Courage That Was



Standing strong at the Red Beach is the tranquil MacArthur Park, too peaceful that one couldn’t probe how such place once transformed into a leviathan and taxed for a huge number of lives. That nightmare of a deluge brought by Yolanda (Haiyan) last November 2013 is one for the books having been one of the worst things to ever hit the Philippines (aside from the outright thievery and trickery in our government that continues to fuck us up). The good thing is, we had that golden chance to go by the place right when Tacloban was starting to bounce back after the said catastrophe, not just to have a good time but to extend some helping hands and caring hearts.
