This article is a reflection from the ground taking the survivors' experiences of the 2013 supertyphoon in the Philippines as its starting point. In it, I present peoples' account of the event as leading to a view of the apocalypse as post-apocalypse in line with recent theories. As against teleological, evolutionary and modern views of history which have become predictable, dominant and hegemonic, people's voices point to an interruption (Metz) which provides a historical opening for the Messiah's entry into our lives

Visions of catastrophe proliferate: we are surrounded by prophecies of the end times. This module takes an anthropological approach to eschatology-the study of the final events in the history of the world. It does so at a time when narratives of apocalypse are assuming great cultural significance: from the influence of Biblical visions of the end times in politics and popular culture, to the existential threat posed by global climate change. Critically engaging with classic anthropological approaches to millenarianism, the module places the anthropology of religion and environmental anthropology in dialogue. It does so by examining the apocalypse through the lens of contemporary Christian culture and lives, but also by tracing the patterns of narratives of the end-times through to secular visions. Here, we confront the growing recognition that we are living in-and implicated in-the sixth mass extinction, an event which places human presence in the context of the deep time of geology; but we also reflect on the possibilities for life at such a point in history beyond fatalistic diagnoses of doom.
Do Filipino Catholics hold orthodox beliefs of the Church's doctrine on salvation during and after major disasters such as Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana)? To what extent their beliefs deviate from the Church's official teaching? This monograph which is based on a sociological study by the author aims to answer these questions. Using the narrative approach and Fr. Frank Lynch, S.J.'s conceptual framework on folk religiosity, it analyzed the prayers and religious stories of a group of urban poor Catholics who were victims by Typhoon Ondoy in 2009 and currently relocated and neglected by the government in a remote and disaster-prone resettlement site in Rodriguez, Rizal.The results of the study showed that some of the Typhoon Ondoy victims' religious beliefs were unorthodox and folk and yet tolerable in the doctrinal standards of the Church. It also showed that poor and nominal Catholics which are thought to be non-religious are actually highly spiritual people as testified by the study’s informants.
