Janiuay, located in the central part of Iloilo, is among the hardest hit with casualties expected to be highest. Mayor Ben Margarico in an interview told Bombo Radyo that at least 19 are confirmed dead and hundreds feared missing. Included in the missing is a family of five whose entire house was carried upstream and personally seen by the mayor to have hit the foundation of the Suage bridge. He recalled seeing numerous others waving for help with frantic looks of desperation. (reported by Florence Hibionada, Ilonggo journalist)Hard rain
Like life’s circumstances, we we’re struck hard by rain. Even the city of Iloilo, home of the infamous Kuris animators, life is a hard rain lately. But we are not losing hope. We were born to fight and face the torments of life even if takes everything from us. We are gifted like mutants in the pages of the X-men comics who never give up to prove ourselves to those who loath and hate us in this blog. They dream on for our downfall but we knew we have left something to the Ilonggos to fonder. Amen.
We realize that this little cyberspace blog isn’t all about the declaration of our feat, quest or journey. It is also a cyber realm of compassion, public service and little media zone. We wanted to inform current issues, happenings, events and news about the world around us.
News 1: Hard rain in the city
Recently, Iloilo City was strucked hard by rain and storm. From the evening of June 14 until today, June 16, 2008, a cruel typhoon tormented Iloilo City with destructive winds and heavy rain leaving only destruction and loss of lives as well as properties. In Mandurriao and Jaro district alone, they were millions of properties loss and some vulnerable lives were taken away by a gigantic flood. It swept away houses especially those in the riverbanks and subdivisions in Jaro (Alta Tierra, etc.). I was riding home in a jeepney when when I saw children crying in fear, houses were washed away, families eating their breakfast early in the morning along the streets and cattle animals walking freely. The old Mandurriao Iloilo Airport was washed away especially its steel wall and nearby squatter community experienced a worse disaster ever. In Jaro, Janiuay, Cabatuan, Pavia and many other municipalities in Iloilo, there were awful stories of survival from families drowned in flood as told by a police in our neighborhood. Until now, these stoies haunt the city and the province with electricity blackout and loss of water supply. Few days from now, everything will be back to normal and students can go to school as classes resume. But that would wait until the rebuilding is done and every one gets over with the trauma.
News 2: Hard task to follow for Kuris
Amid the typhoon disaster, the Kuris animators are still in contact with each other. The new commercial animated module project that we will start soon and promotes a very popular food product will start few week from now. I entrusted Lyndon to lead this project since I saw the eagerness and determination to fulfill this Task in him. Marx, Bryan, Tatang and Jay will assist him as they continue their special project. I need to prepare the budget proposal needed to be submitted first before anything else. I talked to the promoters of the commercial project and they are very excited to see the animation that will included in the whole module once it is done. But it would take a lot of effort and brainstorming before we can realize the fruit of our sacrifice. Still, the rest of our other big projects are on hold including the NCCA-Lapis proposal, a charity event and DreamTeam shows that we will take part. By August, we might handle the animation visuals in a special event in Amigo Terrace Hotel. We will reveal everything in time… Oh, we might post also the movie review we did for Urduja and Incredible Hulk. Robinsons is really a cool cinema to watch these days , hehe!
