And so after a brief introduction, we found out that Man (1) and Lady (1) were lovers and they came all the way from San Mateo Rizal, while Man (2) just tag along with them from the gate of Cainta Greenpark. (im really sorry guys I forgot your names).

Moments passed and the house owner gave another sets of biscuits which we shared to our new roofmates lol. The atmosphere became less horrifying as we talked with one another, sharing our dilemma and even joke about it. Not enough sleep that night, for sure I would need the best eye cream for dark circles when this ordeal is over.

Time was so longggggg during our stay at the roof. Finally, at around 8am, the sun was shining brightly and the flood level has slowly receded (nabawasan ng mga 2 feet). We can now see car roofs and some people walking their way through the floods. I was the last one to climb down the roof. All of my roofmates left much earlier. I stayed for an hour more, because from what I heard, my place was still much deeper and risky to go to.

this  was the actual street I’ve waded, although the flood here has lessen from the actual time that I’ve pass-through.

At last, at about 10am, after an hour of wading (again) through the flood, I finally met my son Sean Kirk. He’s safe and sound. Good thing we have a neighbor who owns a two-story house where they stayed and somehow escape that dreadful flood. Thank God!

Hayup ka Ondoy! Dahil sa iyo marami ang nagutom at nagkasakit!
Hayup ka Ondoy! Dahil sa iyo marami ang nawalan ng mahal sa buhay!
Hayup ka Ondoy! Dahil sa iyo maraming naluging negosyo at nasirang ari-arian!

Pero dahil din sa iyo Ondoy, marami ang natutong magbalik loob kay Jesus. Maraming tao ang nagdasal at natutong magdasal. Its been proven that no matter how much technology we have now, its still no match when mother nature strikes. This event also symbolizes that we don’t own our life, and that any day could be our last. Always be prepared to meet thy creator with good heart and soul. The End

Thanks to all who patiently reads the whole Hayup ka Ondoy Chronicle.

He said his name was JR, short for junior or stands for Jesus Rescues? Can be! Can be! pede di ba! Just like me, he enters the village alone to save his parents, but he gave up along the way because of the deep flood, strong current and pitch black environment, that he eventually ended up at the roof for refuge.

All along we thought morning was about to come, not until we asked a man from the nearby townhouse (who gave JR a dry Tshirt and a cigarette) that its only 8pm.

This is the longest night of my life! One for the Amazon books I could say! We both tried to sleep on the cold and bumpy roof. Its not that cozy but its the best bed for us that moment, as we somehow snatched a nap while ignoring the drizzle.

We’re about 1 or 2 hours there when the window on the 2nd floor opens. Its the owner of the house after all. He asked us if me and JR were ok, then he gave us some biscuits to munch. (Thank you sir, im giving you a gift this X’mas!)

Then an hour later we heard a wailing voice of a girl. She was asking for help. “saklolo, tulungan nyo po kami! hindi na po namin kaya, malulunod po kami” The same thing that happen to me.  She was shooting blanks in total darkness “parang ako, bahala na kung me makadinig” Lucky for them (they were 3 – 1  girl and 2 boys) we heard them. We told them to hold on and we’ll help them climb the roof. And then we we were five. As in “Five for Fighting” Ondoy’s wrath!

To be continued…
