“Lahat po tayo ay nahaharap muli sa isang matinding pagsubok. Hindi po kayo nagiisa. Wala sa antas ng pamumuhay ang pagsubok. Kaninang umaga po pinilit po namen habulin. Ang inaanod na kotse ng aking anak Andre Yllana subalit wala din po kaming nagawa kundi ang magdasal,” she said.
The actress-turned-politician mentioned that losing material possessions cannot compare to losing one’s life. She remained grateful that no one in her family got hurt.
She also expressed that she and the rest of the city council are prepared to assist those in need, a sentiment echoed by Aiko Melendez’s son.
Recently, thousands of Filipino families have been affected by the floods caused by Carina and are now working to navigate the aftermath. Both jobs and schools remain suspended due to the ongoing conditions, with no set timeline for resuming activities.
Today, the NDRRMC reported that Carina’s floods have resulted in 14 fatalities, two injuries, and two people still missing.
