From my churchmate in Cebu Tacloban city needs our prayers. Please read this is now the situation there. He just came back today. November 14 Oskibol Lavilla Just got back from Tacloban City with my family. Thank God nothing really serious happened to them. Ive never seen and experienced anything so terrible in my entire life. unclaimed cadavers still littered on the streets and lots of people walking here and there still looking for their loved ones, people flocking the airport and evac centers to get food and water and some are desperately trying to get out of the city. I was born in this city but every turn makes me think where the hell I am . places are unrecognizable because of all the damage even for someone like me who grew up there, the whole city looks like a massive dump site. Its not getting better contrary to what you might be seeing from the media. In our barangay alone, curfew has been set up (6am to 6pm) cause at night people are forcefully breaking into other peoples homes to get what they want EVEN at the expense of the lives whore INSIDE. rumors of rape and murder, NPA and escaped prisoners are also rampant in most areas. (Mayor Romualdez confirmed the jailbreak by the way). my bro and I had to create a barricade inside our house to be ready. gunshots were fired 3 to 4 blocks from our street and we had to stay awake all night to alert neighbors in case suspicious activity was sighted. good thing was that the whole neighborhood organized a meeting before nightfall, and came up with sound signals in case somebody was in trouble. We experienced 15 encounters of gunshots, shouts and sound signals fired all in one night as early as 8pm till 3am. Im not making this up. 15 !!! in one single night and military personnel is spread thinly across the city and here i was thinking that the biggest concern was food/water supply. I just had to get my family out of there... gn.buhat ko natanan pagbisita ha iyo pamilya pero it iba nga lugar makuri talga agi.an. baha ngan mga lapok tikang imbornal, dre kami napwersa ak manghud.. a facial mask is not enough to keep the smell out.
