“I can only imagine what others went through in even more unstable places. Sana lahat ng nangangailangan, naabot ng tulong. Forever grateful to those who checked in, brought food and most of all, to Philippine Army S&R and Raha Rescue!”
“Saludo to the ones who braved the floods to get to us,” Reyes also said.
