Dominoes in the face of "Frank's" fury

After the rain and the winds


Twisted metal that was the Ampitheater

What you are about to see is the aftermath of the battle between Mother Nature and man's attempt at semi-immortality. As always, the latter comes out always the vanquished and never the wiser. Heavy stuff, huh? No, its nothing monumental, its just the Balyu-an Amphitheater in the city falling like a pile of dominoes after Typhoon "Frank" battered across town leaving destruction in its wake. Fortuitous event it was and finger-pointing would not bring the "dominoes" back to its standing position. It would be better if everyone instead came together to help Mayor Alfred in making it serviceable once more.


Balyu-an Ampitheater after Typhoon "Frank"

Indeed, trust the Pinoy's ability to make the most of a bad situation as despite its present state, the city government managed to make minor repairs making it good enough for the venue of the recent Sangyaw Festival.

I dub it the "Leaning Towers" of Balyu-an. And maybe just like its counterpart in Pisa, Italy, it might just become a tourist attraction. (photos courtesy of M.A.)
