I was glad to read an email informing us that the company (I am working for), is giving the employees the option to avail of a calamity loan of up to 3 months worth of one’s monthly salary payable in 12 months. It would be very helpful in putting lives back to normal, or for some, even in rebuilding houses.

Whether a ground floor overhaul or a roof replacement, the option would definitely be a great help to the employees who were Typhoon Ondoy victims. Speaking of house constructions, be careful in choosing materials for your ceilings. Stay away from those asbestos ceiling tiles, or you run the risk of your family developing mesothelioma when exposed to asbestos.

Anyway, I’m just glad that the company is extending its hand to the employees in need.
