Our boys' volleyball teams went to play one of the other International schools on Friday night but the game was cancelled after they arrived so they began the journey back, only to be caught by the weather so one coach stayed with the van and the other took the boys to one of a family's house nearby. Only to find that family was stranded at Faith. They enjoyed their hospitality regardless! The teams arrived back at school late Saturday afternoon.
The Cross Country team were competing in Subic (further north) and got stuck there. They arrived back Monday afternoon.
Lots of families had their first floor flooded but one family had the extra aggravation of a local plant spilling oil and it went over everything they possessed downstairs.
Two of our school families who live next door to each other - and were busy helping feed families from their local church - were told by their neighbours - of course, via their helper - that they needed to clear up the mud from the road outside their houses as it was unsightly.
One lady was not in her house when it flooded but had emptied her important papers onto her bed. The bed rose with the flood and lowered as it receded with the papers still intact.
