Ebola Virus - Philippines And The World

by: Psychic August

The dreaded virus will get itself into the country. However, it will be contained, case will be minimal, and I don't see an outbreak.

I have also seen that the Philippine goverment will not send a medical team to West Africa, instead it will just focus on preventive measures to keep the virus from entering the country.

Next year, finally, due to more concerted efforts by the international community in response to entreaties by US President Barack Obama and the United Nations, the spread of the ebola virus worldwide would be slowed down, although thousands will still die of the virus, but not in the millions as initially feared. Some drugs that would slow down the virus ( but not yet really curing it) would be officially used.

A highly publicized patient will lose the battle, and another one in the news in recent days will survive.

Everyone is encouraged to learn about Ebola,
its prevention, transmission, and symptoms
Makakapasok ang Ebola sa bansa, bagamat maagapan ito kung kaya't kaunti lang ang maapektuhan at hindi kakalat sa publiko.

Nakita ko rin na hindi magpapadala ang gobyerno ng medical team sa Africa. Ito ay magpo focus na lang sa prevention sa pagpasok at pagkalat ng sakit na ito sa bansa.

Dahil sa effort ng Amerika at United Nations, mailalabas na ng official sa susunod na taon ang gamot para mapabagal ang epekto ng virus sa mga tinamaan ng Ebola. Libo-libo pa rin ang nakakalungkot na masasawi sa sakit subalit hindi naman million gaya ng naunang kinatatakutan.

Isang pasyente na nababalita sa buong mundo sa ngayon ang nakakalungkot na masasawi, subalit ang isa ring nasa balita nitong mga nakaraang araw ay malalagpasan ang sakit na ito.

Mayon Eruption

by: Psychic August

Unlike its previous eruptions, Mount Mayon will maintain its gentle outburst in the coming days.  I don't see any major destruction of properties or loss of lives arising from its unrest this year.


Hindi gaya ng mga nakaraang pagputok nito, mananatiling banayad lang ang pagsabog ng Mayon ngayong taong ito.  Wala akong nakikitang malaking pinsala sa mga ari-arian at pagkawala ng mga buhay.

Philippine Earthquakes and Typhoons

by: Psychic August

I see no major earthquakes happening next year, that is, nothing stronger than Intensity 5.  For the remainder of the year, only slight tremors, if at all.

No more major typhoons in the next few months. We can only worry about monsoon winds which may bring about rain ("habagat") to be worse, but nothing too serious.


Wala akong nakikitang lindol sa isang taon na hihigit sa Intensity 5.  Sa natitirang bahagi ng 2014, bahagyang pagyanig lang, kung meron man.

Ganoo din sa bagyo, wala na akong nakikita na malaksa sa susunod na buwan ng taon.  Ang dapat lang paghandaan ay ang habagat, subalit hindi rin naman ito masasabing "serious".
