On December 16, 2011, heavy rains from Tropical Storm Washi, known locally as Sendong, combined with high tides and strong currents to produce flash floods in the Mindanao island group in the southern Philippines, particularly in the most affected Iligan and Cagayan de Oro. Flash floods occurred at night while most people were asleep, increasing the death toll, according to local media reports. As of December 21, floods and accompanying landslides had killed more than 1,500 people and affected approximately 500,000 others, displacing nearly 44,000 people to 62 evacuation centers.

Having arrived five minutes early, I took a stroll through the lobby of the Bayanihan Arts and Events Center and glanced over the crowd of Filipino faces silent with smiles of anticipation for their names to be called. Eager to rush forward and finally unload the emotional burden and anxiety of the passport renewal process, their eyes were focused towards Bayanihan Director Rudy Bautista and the Philippine American Chamber of Commerce (PACC) volunteers, gathered around the check-in desk, for some sense of guidance or direction. Filipino-time need not apply to them, for they were required to book their appointments several months in advance. Silently moving past them, between the Library and Ann Bartlett’s Office, various Filipino dialects bounced in echo off of neutral-painted walls and crisp floor tiles as the Garden Veranda awaited me just beyond the glass door at the end of the hallway.
