Day 2 after Milenyo aka Xangsane
Gateway Mall is full of people. No. Gateway Mall is full to the brim with people. No. Gateway Mall is almost like a sardine can filled up with people.

More Milenyo or Xangsane snapshots
Some more snapshots taken after the tropical storm Milenyo or Xangsane. Included in the picture are fallen trees, debris on the road, a shot of the “terminal” billboard along Edsa (which was the cause of traffic jam from Makati to Edsa and parts beyond), an upturned truck just near the building.
