This is your daughter's room, no?
So this is obviously not a great video to even show or a situation to that I want to be sharing about but
Odette. Oh my gosh, and then
Yeah, and then
Oh, yeah, oh yeah, you guys are here as well for that
About a week ago a typhoon called tinio
Hit pretty hard across Visayas and took people by surprise, especially with the intense rain and the flooding happened here in Cebu
last night the super typhoon who won
Came through up north. I think he hit Aurora pretty hard
But then I think we were a little bit lucky up north as well that the Sierra Madres might have slowed it down a tiny
bit anyways
It's been a pretty tough week
Here in the Philippines. So what's happened is I've flown right now to Cebu. I met up with my
Teedowner family here in Lilo and remember I used to live here. This is the first place I ever stayed in the Philippines
They've been helping a bit in their community
Thank God they were okay with the storm, but a lot of their friends and relatives were affected
I'm just come here because I have a few days and I just like to see maybe how I can help a little bit or
Get involved
Yeah, so that's where I am right now, we're just well my team is actually just buying some bread
But we're gonna make our way to a disaster kind of headquarters so I can at least start to figure out what's going on
Wow everything even here got flooded
Even though these stores everything starting here because this is the river
Where's your
Rescue
Four-year-old. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Oh my toys are taken by the flood
Is it okay that I think a little video out there, it's okay
So you guys just got the water back now though, yeah
So you're just trying to clean?
You're starting just you so low so high. Oh my gosh
Yes
Do you have any supplies for cleaning or anything?
like
Just this room here, okay
Well
This this is your daughter's room. No, oh my gosh
This is one week after
The storm that really flooded
Immensely this area. I'm in the second floor of an athlete's house
I just met her I was walking around trying to get a perspective the water came up here
Right here on the second floor of these houses. So maybe up to my chest
The good news they just got water this morning outside in the mornings so I think and
Start to clean a bit. The bad news is
They need trucks and cleaning supplies they need volunteers, obviously that's gonna take a while
Okay, I'll talk to you in a bit
This is my knee-length eat a toddy
We're just going to eat some lunch and I'm gonna buy a bunch of cleaning stuff and things to bring back to a day
And I'm just gonna help her clean today because I've realized already that
Possibly something that could happen here is you can kind of like adopt a house
We are lucky at parking I'll talk more with us later
But for now into the mall to buy a few things or and then eat get energized and go back and clean with that dish
She doesn't even know
Okay, this room is actually solid this works
Maybe I'll pass if you want to go inside you I can pass you through the window
During the rescue
You know what I always think you should keep this
It's not like
Victory
These are different stuff. Yeah, you can actually do stuff. Yeah victory
Right water break
We're doing well, I got some space
But
Water break bread, that's a oh, we're not a guy table go we lost. Oh, we have it. Okay, that's what I guy
We need we need to breathe did you oh, yeah, did you lose your brief? Oh, man, that sucks. That sucks

It's a sling and Juni
All right, what a break a
Really big wind now
disappeared in the front
It's just a very very fortunate
Still happening at the right time. I'm starting to get some real progress
Getting better
Getting better. Oh
Not bad
Not bad for one full afternoon
We have space
If I always gone from there
to start
Okay, I'm gonna come back tomorrow morning I'll meet her here around 930 she goes back to constellation tonight to see her two daughters
Stay with the relative
Very nice idea if you want to come here, this is who by and
Just come in like pick a house and meet a family and help them out bring some supplies do some cleaning
It can make a difference
So I think I'm gonna go back now
See my tita Nina hanging them I get ready for tomorrow and also I'm gonna write something on my Facebook page and hopefully
Just to spread some information and maybe some people want to come join tomorrow or in the coming days and whatnot
Small victories
As I've learned in the past one day at a time
Massey it's a great snack. You can get them along the main road here in Lilo and I just wanted to show you
That the municipal plaza and this kind of main highway. It's all good
Go to the hardware stores, like I just did got a new shovel new rake really strong
But about a kilometer and a half maybe two kilometers down the road is the area where I was cleaning yesterday
I'm just heading back this morning to continue cleaning with that day
So just want to show you that nothing to be afraid of coming here. It's pretty as it is along the highway
nasty rules
My Nina is gonna pick me up. Give me a ride drop me off
Almost lunchtime for us pretty tired. I want to show you my beautiful landscaping. We got the drainage clear here
So literally now whenever it rains or if anybody comes through the fire truck the drainage
It's good to go any power washing in the future. They want to do
That's another small victory feeling really good about that one, okay
lunch time
It's post. Oh, he's always dancing
This is the the lunch of champions
That's the good thing about the booze they've also put so yeah, they can put so
People could actually just bring this stuff as relief goods. Yeah, it lasts for like three days. No
Two days two days. Okay, put so in the ample
Water tanker coming in from Randhawi
Going to the back section. So they're starting to get some more flow of equipment and stuff. Oh
Yeah, they kept up. Oh
Superman a
New kitchen
Got to bring this tool back to my aunties over here. Thank you. Very cool
They're very cool we make lots of chica off-cam
Look look cool
You're so to us
Thank you
Every time I walk fast we chica. Thank you. I love that
Bye bye. Oh
I'll put it on definitely. They asked you to put them in the vlog
100%
Yeah, so your
Much different than yesterday morning
And the good thing at a and some of the relatives have found a pressure washer. So we just got to secure a
generator and then yeah, I can start to spray in the first floor and
It's just little victories little victories. Okay. I'll see you later. I'm gonna head out. I do I do
Are you gonna use a jeep?
Yeah
It's the same one just goes by the little I know
My knee next place doesn't have any water. So I'm gonna go take up my foot. So
Yeah, I
Think they had power outage for a while as well, but everything's back on here. Just there's some water issues still so we're so power. I
Really didn't expect to use the post over bath, but the water sometimes fluctuates just lately
Obviously because of the recent disasters
But that was so actually it's literally outside of the first home that I ever lived in here in the Philippines
At the back in the municipal hall in the land. So I remember using that one before
Look it's November the 11th and late at night. I just wanted to quickly throw this together
Just to give everybody some more information on you know ways you can help right now
There's a lot of subdivisions. I'm sure in many areas too
But the ones I've seen and been at are here in Lilo on in Hubei and Cocoa and there's other areas
people
Like I like out there who I randomly met and started working on for two days
their attitudes are fantastic and
you know, it can be really a
Wonderful way to help if you're thinking of organizing a some sort of relief operation
one option is to create like a cleaning team and and to bring supplies and
You could just go in like, you know
like adopt a house or something just
Find go to the one of the subdivisions talk to some people and I've already talked a lot of other one
A lot of other people in their homes and and they would be thrilled to have people help them clean
Because it's definitely gonna be a major issue right now
In fact as I was about to turn this on I was reading some messages and another friend
Who's in another side of Cebu and Talisay who is also doing just what I was doing the past two days
It was just helping people clean
So yeah, I mean all relief is is amazing and I just wanted to share with you that there's that one option also
Tomorrow I will be going with my ni nang and some of the relatives to another area of Cebu to help them out with a relief
Operation, but I will be back to see at a on Thursday and help her clean again
so if anybody is around and wants to
Come because this video will be online and then just clean in that subdivision. It's just behind the market
I'll be there probably in the morning and spend the day. So
Yeah, you're more than welcome. Just make sure you bring your own supplies though, of course to to be prepared, you know masks gloves
It's nice to have a shovel there's little squeegee the squeegee like pushers
really nice
People have power washers
It's fantastic to it, but you need to have like the generator to run it or if it's gas power
I don't know, but those would definitely be very helpful for a lot of people
We're trying to secure a generator for at this age
It's trying to get a generator. She's found a power washer because we're hoping to be able to spray down our house
And she'll actually be there tomorrow too. So if you see this and
It's Wednesday, I think tomorrow and you want to go there too and more than welcome. I'm sure so
Yeah, just thanks. Everybody's helping out. I hope it's gave you a little bit more perspective and
Don't actually expect them. I'm probably not going to be
Putting together any more videos of this trip
but I will maybe make a few more posts on my facebook or social media with ways that maybe you people can get involved or
Just to give ideas or awareness of things. So yeah
Just power on and thank you. Everybody's been helping and stay strong. Everybody who's been affected
It's been a really difficult time lately in the Philippines natural disasters. So, okay
I'm gonna sleep. We're gonna be up early tomorrow and I'm off
