Your churches and houses were flattened. Your lovely coasts were sullied. Your hills slid and your plains cradle corpses and proofs of brokenness.

But you can build once more, and even as you seethe with rage and stream with tears, you can draw lessons from the source of your anger and grief, the better to fortify yourself the next time nature wreaks havoc in these unsteady isles.

Do not stay down, Visayas.

They—we—will see you through, in northern Cebu, in Samar, in Leyte, in Bohol, in Capiz to better days.

We come now by the thousands, and the hundreds of thousands—in schools and museums, in parishes, in government centers, in homes; peer groups, families, parishes, work mates, play mates: We hold you in our hearts.

We whisper a prayer, we send positive thoughts, we share your sorrow and your hope, even as we prepare to supply for your physical needs, in our small ways, writ large as we muster our forces together.

Do not stay down, Visayas.
