A FATHER'S LOVE STORY ALERT!

Grabe, nakakapanghina talaga makakita nang ganito. Imagine, from 3am to 6am nandiyan lang siya nakatayo sa gilid hawak ang anak niya at tanging poste lang ang kinakapitan para makaligtas :

When Typhoon Tino struck Cebu in the early morning of November 4, the Aguspina family in Dumlog, Talisay City thought the worst had passed, but as floodwaters began to rise, one clever cat made sure his humans were safe.

Meet Neko, a four-year-old family pet who had just celebrated his fourth year with the family on November 3.

The next morning, he would become their unexpected hero.

In an interview with MyTV Cebu, David Paul Aguspina, who was sleeping on the first floor, shared that power had already gone out around 4 to 5AM while heavy rains and strong winds battered the city, and Neko, unusually alert, kept staring out the window as if sensing something was wrong.

“So the night of the storm happened, we had already lost power, probably around 4 or 5 AM. I fell asleep, but half asleep because I was hearing strong rain and winds. The whole time I was downstairs, Neko was just staring at the window,” he recalled.

Paul had been in the living room, where his laptop was on a short glass coffee table, “I don’t know why, but Neko just kept looking outside—maybe animal instinct or something. Probably he saw the water rising. He rushed from the couch toward me, and in doing so, he stepped on the laptop and it fell to the floor, that sound woke me up. When I picked it up, the floor was already wet, and water was starting to rush in. When I looked out the window, I saw the floodwater rising, so I rushed upstairs to wake my family and save as many things and essentials as we could.”

Paul’s family, who had been upstairs, quickly acted after he woke them up. Within minutes, ankle-deep water surged dangerously higher, forcing them to grab what they could and evacuate to a nearby neighbor’s three-story house with their three pets including Neko.

“If you know me personally, lisod jud ko pa-mathon, lisod jud ko pukawon. That morning, the sound of the laptop falling woke me up and really saved my life. If it hadn’t, I’d be dead by now,” David said. “I was the only one sleeping on the first floor while everyone else was on the second floor. Even though I didn’t drown, I could have swallowed some floodwater, which could’ve killed me too.”

“Even though I lost my laptop and many things, I just thank God nga safe rako and my family. My mom and dad are currently checked in at a hotel, and my siblings and I are staying in Banawa at my sister’s house. I thank God for Neko, because he really saved my life. Who knows, without him, I wouldn’t be alive to tell this story, and my family might have lost more because of the flood.”

Just one day after marking his fourth year with the Aguspina family, Neko proved that heroes come in all forms—even with fur, whiskers, and a brave heart.

Eto po yung basketball player na nagligtas sa mga kapitbahay nya nung kasagsagan ng bagyong Tino at pagbaha sa Cebu.

Hinangaan ng Netizens ang kabayanihang ipinamalas ng basketball player na si Jr Quiñahan matapos sagipin ang mga tao sa kanyang paligid during the typhoon Tino. Pagkatapos ilagay sa ligtas na lugar ang kanyang pamilya ay hindi sya huminto sa pag rescue dahil mas inuna nya ang ibang tao kesa sa kanyang mga gamit at iba pang naipundar na bagay sapagkat ang mas mahalaga raw sakanya ay ang kaligtasan at buhay ng tao kesa sa materyal na bagay.

“Sobrang lakas ng daloy ng tubig nun pero sabi ko, bahala na, kesa mapahamak mga kapitbahay namin lalo na yung mga walang second floor, kaya nung nakakita ako ng drum na lumulutang, kinuha ko at dun ko isinakay ang ibang ni-rescue namin. Tapos hila-hila namin.”

“Sabi ko sa sarili ko, sa laki kong 'to, kung di ko gagamitin para sumagip ng buhay, habambuhay ko 'yung pagsisihan. Bakit uunahin ko yung mga gamit namin eh madali naman yan mapundar, yung mga buhay ang una naming binalikan ng ibang tauhan ko."

Saludo kami sa'yo JR Quiñahan, maraming salamat sa iyong kabayanihan, isa kang dakila, mabuhay ka at nawa'y dumami pa ang mga katulad mong may malasakit sa kapwa. God bless you!
