We would like to give them food over the weekend. However, there are families that lost their homes in our area and we would still like to extend help to them. We are able to get by and we are thankful for it. That's how strong the current was but I was a little too late for that. I was supposed to take a picture of the bus moving with the water. Here are some pictures I was able to take. Of course they would deny it if there is any truth to it because they will be held responsible for all the lives lost due to their stupidity. It would be hard to explain how the water rose very fast. There was a speculation that a dam in Montalban, Rizal released water without warning, thus, causing the disaster. One more thing, I still have relatives in Vista Verde, Cainta who are still trapped on their roof. We are basically natives of Marikina and seeing how devastated the place was was really hard for me. On my way to the office last night, I saw some parts of Marikina and I couldn't keep the tears from falling because it wasn't the Marikina I knew. We lost part of it but we still have each other in the end. We are just thinking how lucky we still are because we never really lost our home. What made it even harder is having the kids tell us how hungry they were and we couldn't give them anything to eat. It was a traumatizing experience in a sense that there was almost nothing to eat and we couldn't go out and buy food because the cars won't start and every store was closed and everyone's hungry. I really felt bad because those are some things that reminds me of him and now I had to let go of some of the. The only time it sank in to me was when we were sorting stuff and realized I had to throw some things that belonged to my dad, mostly older than I am. It was a complete disaster as we relied on a few canned goods we were able to save for almost 3 days.
While saving stuff, I even fell down the stairs because there was no electricity and I hit my head so hard it bounced back, So I ended up having a big bump on my head and a big bruise on my hip. My kuya's (cousin) family was trapped on the second floor of their house and 2 cars went under water. One family is from San Mateo who pretty much lost everything. There are only 2 rooms on the second floor and it housed 4 families. So everyone started coming and bringing stuff with them. And ours is the only house with a second floor. We did our best to save stuff but the current was just too strong. That was the very first time we experienced that. It was something I never imagined would happen to us. A few minutes after I made the "That's it!" post, water started coming in to the first floor of our house.
