“Nakita ko lahat…sabi ng tatay, 'Tabang! 'Yung anak ko, 'yung anak ko, mamamatay na. Wala na.' Di namin akalain mamamatay na kami pero sa awa ni Allah lahat kami buhay,” a survivor said.

In Abby Caballero’s report on 24 Oras, 20-year-old Ryan Bensik said he did not expect to survive the flooding in the municipality of Datu Odin Sinsuat. He remembered hearing screams of people asking for help as they moved house to house while the powerful storm continued dumping heavy rain on the area.

Bensik was merely visiting a friend when the tragedy happened and he never expected a simple gesture would put his life at risk. While traumatized, he returned to the area to look for his passenger tricycle after it was swept away by the flood. Ryan recovered it but he was unsure if it would be of any use.
