My homely surrounding

By Marsha Faith M. Barrera

 

Bright sky as charcoal – grey,

Variety of kids wants to play,

The colors of the surrounding is vibrant.

So many growing trees and plants,

 

You can see a comfort zone.

Small houses that you can call a home

Observing the plenty happy families,

Witnessing the friendly community.

Ash fall affected almost the entire island of Luzon, and even reached the neighboring countries of Malaysia and Vietnam. To the Kapampangans and to the people affected by this tragedy, it would serve as a testament to their irrepressible attribute of rising about their plight and predicament. I was no longer living in Angeles City when Mt. Pinatubo erupted on June 15, 1991. I was promoted from being a crew member at Pizza Hut Dau to management trainee at Pizza Hut Harrison Plaza in December 1990. It was my first time to work in Manila. Ed Calupitan, a fellow Pizza Hut crew member now based in Manila, offered me a place to stay in his two-bedroom apartment. Weeks before the eruption, I read several news and warnings about Mt. Pinatubo. Frankly, I never knew there was a volcano in
