3 (By 11:00 in the evening, rains were pouring continuously, flood was rising quickly. As a precautionary measure, my husband and I gathered our children including my daughter and her family who were living next to our house. We evacuated to a one-storey, semi-concrete house owned by a friendly neighbor. Other relatives were also there. We climbed to the rooftop one at a time. I thought we have escaped from the deadly flood. I thought we have sought refuge from danger not until the huge log lashed the house where we were staying. Having a weak foundation, the house later collapsed and we were swept, dispersed, and immersed to the ravaging mud flood. Wala na mi nagdungog sa kakusog sa hangin ug sa ga-agulo nga baha. Gisalbar nako ang anak sa akong pag-umangkon apan nalumos gihapon. Wala ako’y makita maski usa tungod sa kangitngit sa palibot. Dili ako makasalom tungod sa ka daghan og troso nga nanga-anod. Nagtuo ako nga isa sa rason nga daghan nangamatay mao ang pagkaanod sa mga dagkong troso gikan sa bukid. (Everyone cried for help, but we cannot hear each other’s voice because strong winds blew our cries away. I saved my niece’s daughter, but she was drowned later. I tried to find others, but I can see nothing; it was totally blackout. I can only hear the strong current of the mud flood. I cannot swim because there were several logs along with the flood.) Sa pila ka oras nakong pakigbisog sa baha, naabot ako sa baybayon sa Barangay Canaway alas 5 sa buntag kon diin distansya kini sa Bayug Island. Samtang nagkaduol ako sa may baybayon, nakita nako ang mga tao nga nangayo og tabang; ug ang uban residente naningkamot sa pagtabang sa uban. Sa higayon nga giluwas na nila ako, didto na sab ko nagkaluya hangtud nga ako nakuyapan. (After hours of struggling and I think that was 5:00 in the morning, floodwaters carried me to the bayside of Brgy. Canaway which is far from Bayug Island. I saw some flashes of light near the ocean. I prayed to God to let the water wave to the bayside. As I got nearer, I can see some people and asked for help. They were ordinary residents trying to help others. The moment they have saved me, that was also the time I got weaker and weaker until I passed out.) Gidala na ako nila sa E & R Hospital. Sa dihang nakamata na ako, didto na nako nahinumduman ang panghitabo sa akong kinabuhi. Nangayo dayon ako ug tabang aron sa pagtawag sa akong pamilya. Niabot akong duha (2) ka anak nga lalaki ug akong igsuon nga babaye. (I was brought in E&R Hospital. When I regained my consciousness, that was the time I recalled that I have been struggling for my life for hours. I immediately asked assistance to the hospital to call my family. My two sons and sister finally came.) Usa ka semana ang nilabay, gipagawas ako sa ospital, ug gisulayan nako nga pangitaon akong uban nga mga paryente apan wala ko gitugotan sa doktor.
