Despite
the power outages in a number of baranggays in the province, the Aklanons still
joyfully observed the first of the 9-day night masses.
This is
as many Aklan Electric Cooperative or Akelco lines damaged by Yolanda are still
yet to be repaired.
Church
goers nearly overflowed most of the parishes, particularly in Kalibo where over
a thousand of people have said to have attended the service.
In spite
of calamities, especially the super typhoon, the faith of the public seems to
have strengthened even more.
The
residents still eagerly woke up very early in the morning to attend the traditional
evening mass.
Meanwhile,
aside from checkpoints, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has also deployed
more personnel to ensure the safety and security of the public.
Yesterday,
December 16, the Filipino’s “9-day Christmas countdown” has commenced.
