Iliganons from other parts of the world stay transfixed on social media as prime source of information as Iligan City lose others means of communication due to floods.

Typhoon Sendong has hit Iligan City last night causing knee-deep floods in parts of Iligan City. It has also caused problems with local Telcos and made it hard to send SMS messages to friends and relatives in the place.

People now turn to online channels like Facebook, Twitter and instant messaging to keep track of flood news about the city. Either they are updating about the status of their place, expressing concerns for their friends and relatives or even to the extent of asking for help.

    this is one of the signs of the time before Christ come for the second time. the first time was the almost no body noticed. but this time, sings and wonders will show. about how many will notice, or prepare to meet Him on the air? i pray that this will remind us to be more closer to Him.. we are celebrating His birthday? how about His coming? God bless The iliganons, and everybody that is concern… YOU. and ME.
