Now they appeal for me for help and I am sending financial help directly to them.

But I can't help them enough to even at least buy for their roof to construct a new house.

So I'm appealing to everyone who has a heart to help. Any amount will be appreciated. A dollar if converted to Philippine currency has a long long way to go.

Here is some scenes of the tragedy:

You can just pm me and I will give you the details where you can send your amount of help.

Thanks for your positive response.

Source: CNN.com

(CNN) -- A huge emergency effort is under way in the Samoan Islands after towering tsunami waves triggered by an 8.0 earthquake left dozens dead and entire villages flattened or submerged.


A damaged boat washed up inside a building in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

At least 84 people are so far confirmed dead in American Samoa and neighboring Samoa but officials fear the toll will rise as rescue workers work to reach outlying villages. Seven people were also confirmed killed in Tonga.

The quake hit the small cluster of Samoan islands in the South Pacific early Tuesday.

In Samoa, the death toll currently stands at 55, according to government minister Maulolo Tavita, but he said he feared the number of casualities would continue to rise.

In American Samoa, 22 people were confirmed dead by late Tuesday. But Salamo Laumoli, director of health services at the LBJ Tropical Medical Center in the capital, Pago Pago, said he feared more fatalities would turn up as rescue workers were still trying to access parts of the island severed by damaged infrastructure.

"I thought it was the end of the world," said Laumoli. "I have never felt an earthquake like that before."

In Tonga, Lord Tuita, the acting prime minister, said at least seven people had been confirmed dead on the northern island of Niuatoputapu. Three others were missing and four people were being treated for serious injuries, he said.

"The hospital on the island is reported to have suffered major damage; telephone communications has been cut as a result of damage to equipment and facilities on the island; homes and government buildings have been destroyed; the airport runway has been severely damaged making it impossible for any fixed wing aircraft to land," a statement from the Tongan prime minister's office said.

A series of aftershocks reverberated through the region Tuesday as reports emerged of entire villages flattened or submerged by the tsunami. The walls of water were so strong that they twisted concrete beams and mangled cars.

Laumoli said people in outlying villages on one end of the main American Samoa island have been cut off because the connecting bridge was washed away. Video Listen to Laumoli speak about the impact of the quake and tsunami »

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, has canceled tsunami watches and warnings for American Samoa. However, a tsunami advisory is still in effect for for the coastal areas of California and Oregon. Video Watch report on end of tsunami warning »

The Japan Meteorological Agency canceled a tsunami advisory along its eastern coast Wednesday. The precautionary alert meant forecasters feared a tsunami wave of less than a foot and a half was possible.

American Samoa Gov. Togiola Tulafono, speaking from Hawaii, said Tuesday's quake ranked "right up there with some of the worst" disasters on the island. He said he had spoken to the military about mobilizing reserve forces for assistance.

Tulafono was on his way back home from Hawaii on Tuesday night on one of two U.S. Coast Guard C-130 transport planes delivering aid. He told reporters Tuesday that it was hard being away from home when disaster came calling. It was a time, he said, for families to be together.

President Barack Obama declared American Samoa a major disaster area, ordering federal aid to supplement local efforts.

The Coast Guard is transporting more than 20 officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to American Samoa, said John Hamill, external affairs officer for FEMA in Oakland, California.

The FEMA team will include a variety of debris experts, housing experts, members of the Corps of Engineers, and other disaster relief specialists, Hamill said.

The quake generated three separate tsunami waves, the largest measuring 5.1 feet from sea level height, said Vindell Hsu, a geophysicist with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. Preliminary data had originally reported a larger tsunami.

A flag flies at half mast in honor of Edward Kennedy at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannisport, Massachusetts.
Stephan Savoia / AP

Simon Sousa, shell shocked and bleary eyed, stood on a grassy corner near the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. He clutched a 8"x10" framed and signed photo of himself with Senator Ted Kennedy, a memento from when Kennedy had helped his Brazilian house cleaner get a green card two years ago. He planted a few tiny American flags and he says he may drive to Boston for the funeral on Saturday. "I do not understand, he seemed okay yesterday morning," says Sousa, 40, who has cleaned Kennedy's home here every two weeks for the last six years. "I was so surprised to hear he passed. Just yesterday I heard him walking and talking on the second floor" of the vacation home the Kennedy family has owned since then 1920's.

This is where Kennedy had spent much of his time after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor 15 months ago. He died surrounded by his wife and children and other family members who bid him loving and tearful goodbyes, according to Rev. Patrick Tarrant, who was with the family at the time. Since his death, relatives have taken turns sitting vigil by his body as the Kennedy clan — all 23 nieces and nephews, his wife Victoria of 17 years and his three children — gathered for his wake and funeral. It is the second time in two weeks the clan has descended on Hyannis Port; earlier this month Kennedy's sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver was laid to rest here.

All day long vans crammed with flower arrangements streamed past the TV cameras that spanned two blocks, even though the family specifically asked that in lieu of flowers well wishers donate money to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. The facility houses an extensive collection of Kennedy's papers — almost all handwritten — and is dedicated to educating senators, staff and the general public about the role and importance of the Senate, where Kennedy served 46 years.

Though his life-long goal had been to achieve universal health care, Kennedy's illness prevented him from spearheading the most recent round of negotiations. But he was the man behind the curtain, working from his sick bed to boost higher education funding, weighing in on nominations that passed through his committee — the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee — and above all, helping shape health care reform strategy. "All of these things weren't accidental," said Massachusetts Senator John F. Kerry, a close Kennedy friend, leaving the compound Wednesday. "Ted Kennedy's strategy and his design and his purposeful effort [were] to continue to serve. From the moment he got sick he was not worried about himself, he was worried about: How do I continue to do this job and represent the people of Massachusetts?" (See video of Kennedy from the 2008 Democratic National Convention.)

In the final days, Kennedy was often seen on his porch talking on the phone, sometimes passionately, or even sailing with friends and colleagues on his 50-foot, blue-hulled schooner, the Mya. The day of his death was a perfect day for sailing, sunny and blustery with a few white caps on the bay the compound overlooks. Flags around the tiny Cape Cod town were at half-mast. On Thursday Kennedy's body will be taken by motorcade to a maple-paneled room at his brother's presidential library in Dorchester for a wake. The body will be open to public viewing Thursday and Friday at the John F. Kennedy Library's Smith Center, which has a stunning view of Boston's skyline. Friday night the family will hold a private celebration of the man the family, in a statement, called "the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives." Vice President Joe Biden, among others, is expected to speak. On Saturday another motorcade will bear Kennedy across Boston to the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the Mission Hill section of Boston. It was in this church, commonly known as Mission Church, that Kennedy prayed daily for his daughter Kara when she was undergoing treatment for lung cancer. Here, Kennedy's funeral will be held for an invitation-only crowd of 1,450. President Barack Obama is expected to interrupt his Martha's Vineyard vacation to speak. Kennedy's body will then be flown to Washington, D.C., where, in a private ceremony, he will be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery, next to his brothers President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

For now, friends and neighbors left flowers in a small impromptu shrine at the edge of the Kennedy property. "Things will change a lot," says James Quinn, 34, a general contractor whose family has lived across the street from the Kennedy's for more than 60 years. "I saw him a few times the last few months, throwing the ball for Splash, his dog, or out and about. But sightings were getting rarer and rarer. I hope he's in a better place. He gave his whole life to politics. He just seemed to work for the people up to his last day. He was the last of Camelot."

By Chris Isidore, CNNMoney.com senior writer
Last Updated: July 2, 2009: 9:08 AM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The battered U.S. labor market took a step backwards last month as employers trimmed more jobs from their payrolls in June, according to a government report Thursday.

There was a net loss of 467,000 jobs in June, compared with a revised loss of 322,000 jobs in May. This was the first time in four months that the number of jobs lost rose from the prior month.

The June job losses were also far worse than the forecast of a loss of 365,000 jobs by economists surveyed by Briefing.com.

The unemployment rate rose for the ninth straight month, climbing to 9.5% from 9.4%, and hitting another 26-year high. Economists had been expecting that the unemployment rate would hit 9.6%.

Nearly 3.4 million jobs have been lost during the first half of 2009, more than the 3 million lost in all of 2008.

The job losses don't tell the full picture of the pain the labor market either. The average hourly work week fell to 33 hours from 33.1 hours in May, a record low in readings that go back to 1964. Average hourly wages were unchanged, so the shorter week shaved $1.85, or 0.3%, off of the average weekly paycheck.

Those who have been out of work for six months or more, and thus have run out of unemployment benefits, climbed to nearly 4.4 million, a record high.

The only good news reported by the Labor Department Thursday was that the number of workers filing initial jobless claims fell to 614,000 last week from 630,000 the week before. That was roughly in line with forecasts.

Michael Jackson, we now know, died from an injection of Demerol given by his doctor -- a man who is now the subject of an LAPD manhunt. There is little question that the injection of Demerol -- a potent pharmaceutical -- caused Jackson's death. Chalk it up to yet another tragic loss of a hugely inspiring artist who has become a victim of the pharmaceutical industry and overzealous medical doctors.

Demerol, by the way, is a highly-potent opioid drug that's also highly addictive. And yet it's being prescribed (and injected) by doctors with the full support of the FDA, the pharmaceutical industry and the conventional medical community. It is nothing less than amazing that mild drugs like marijuana remain outlawed while potentially deadly painkiller drugs like Demerol are openly injected into people by doctors.

Farrah Fawcett's death was far less sudden than Jackson's, but no less innocent. She was killed by chemotherapy -- a toxic cocktail of chemicals pushed onto patients by oncologists who deceptively call it "treatment."

Against the advice of many in the natural health community, Fawcett gave in to her doctors and agreed to be poisoned as a treatment for anal cancer. But what she didn't know is that one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy is more cancer! And after subjecting her body to more chemotherapy, it wasn't long before Fawcett was diagnosed with liver cancer. (Chemotherapy causes terrible harm to the liver, heart, kidneys and brain...)

Before long, her suppressed immune system and ongoing poison treatments overcame her body's natural healing ability, and she died (as yet another victim of chemotherapy). Her doctors, of course, claim she "died of cancer." Clever huh?

Cancer doctors operate with that sort of clever deception: If the cancer goes away, they claim the patient was "treated by the medicine," but if the patient dies, they claim "the cancer killed them." It's pretty easy to claim success if you take credit for the wins while fleeing the any responsibility for the losses.

Back to Farrah, while many of her friends and supporters say her battle with cancer was "an inspiration," let me be the first to publicly state that to me, poisoning yourself with toxic chemicals is NOT inspiring, no matter how much suffering you go through. I do not believe that people should be given special recognition for pain and suffering they consciously choose to inflict upon themselves, especially when all that suffering is easily avoidable. It would have been far more "inspiring" for Farrah to choose healing remedies instead of deadly poisons.

Had she chosen natural remedies, she could have skipped all the pain and suffering, restored her immune function, reversed her cancer and gone on to live a much longer and more abundant life. (It would have saved her a small fortune in medical costs, too...)

But she didn't choose natural health (nutrition, vitamin D, immune support, superfoods and medicinal herbs). Instead, she chose poison. As a result, her decision to ravage her body's health through "slash and burn" medicine ultimately cost more than her body could afford to pay.

Keeping the public in the dark
What's especially sad about all this is that the conventional medical trade groups, the drug companies and the FDA are all conspiring to keep consumers ignorant of natural cancer remedies. So Farrah Fawcett almost certainly did not have easy access to the kind of information about natural remedies that could have saved her life. She would have had to read NaturalNews or other good sources of truthful information about natural solutions for cancer like Gerson Therapy (www.Gerson.org).

But this is all by design: Truthful information about natural remedies for cancer is intentionally oppressed by the medical establishment. Those who dare to offer health products with accurate descriptions about their anti-cancer attributes are threatened with arrest and imprisonment by the FDA and FTC (http://www.naturalnews.com/024246_c...). The very best doctors who can really cure cancer have been either thrown in prison or run out of the country (which is why all the best cancer clinics in the world aren't located in the United States).

The medical industrial complex, in other words, has conspired to keep the American people uninformed and diseased, making them dependent on the for-profit medical system that dominates modern medicine. That Farrah Fawcett actually made a conscious decision to allow her body to be destroyed by chemotherapy is an indication of just how insidious and manipulative our conventional medical system really is.

Instead of giving patients options, it limits their options and gives them death. Instead of educating patients about how to prevent and reverse cancer, our medical system de-educates patients and seeks to isolate them from knowledge of natural remedies. Instead of empowering patients, it seeks to control and profit from patients. It is a failed system that kills celebrities just as mercilessly as it kills those who aren't famous at all.

And unless we change our approach to healing cancer, more people will continue to die as victims of dangerous prescription drugs and failed chemotherapy "treatments."

Because whether you're famous or not, chemotherapy is still poison.

Pop music legend Michael Jackson caused a bit of an international Internet furor yesterday when he had a heart attack and perished.

Millions of fans and interested folk flocked to their favorite websites to find information, and express their remorse over, Michael Jackson's heart failure. The news resulted in an onslaught of web searches for "michael jackson" struck from all corners of the globe.

Google, Wikipedia, BBC, CNN, Twitter and especially gossip site TMZ, which broke the news initially, went down briefly in a burst of cyber-flames as their websites were hit by a massive burst of traffic.

The traffic on Twitter rivaled the peak of the communication the day after the illegitimate Iran election. The BBC thought it was under a DDoS attack at first, as many hordes of Internet-goers searched the site for news on beloved MJ.

Even mighty Google News, for roughly a half an hour, returned error pages as their service was overloaded with folks searching for the most recent updates on Michael Jackson's status.

To some extent, the entire Internet slowed fractionally as millions queried the Internet to see if Michael Jackson was in fact, dead.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.
