One of the problems journalists faced while covering the mudslide tragedy in Guinsaugon, Saint Bernard, Southern Leyte, was the internet connection. Saint Bernard town is a very laid back, quiet town with no telephone line and no internet connection (personal or internet cafe). As for me, I had to travel two hours to Sogod town, the nearest town that has an internet cafe.
It was during those days of covering Saint Bernard that I realized the importance of mobile internet. PLDT's weroam connection is an ideal solution to the problem. With PLDT weroam, a journalist can send news stories or photos anywhere at anytime. That's convenience and connectivity all in one setting. But the problem with PLDT's weroam is that it has a fixed payment term, which, i must admit, is a little bit painful in my pocket. Imagine paying P25,000 in one time for a year's subscription. That's a bit too much.
I just hope PLDT will consider a prepaid account for weroam. PLDT may sell weroam prepaid cards for P2,500 good for one month's mobile connection. So when there's an emergency coverage somewhere in a place where the word internet has not been introduced yet, anyone can just buy a prepaid weroam card. That would be very useful and convenient, don't you think?
I hope and pray that PLDT will soon introduce prepaid weroam accounts.

Guinsaugon Mudslide Photos
I was in Barangay Guinsaugon, Saint Bernard Town, in Southern Leyte for four days to cover the mudslide tragedy. Hundreds of bodies were already pulled out from the mud but around 900 persons are still missing. I couldn't find the exact words to tell my experience there so I will just post some pictures here. Im still uploading the photos though.
My 8-month old son is having mild fever. I can see that his gum is breaking up to give way to the first tooth. Elders said it is normal for babies to have fever and even LBM during these periods. Was a bit alarmed when I felt that my baby was very warm. Well, you can't blame a first time father. :)

1,000 persons feared buried in Guinsaugon, Saint Bernard, Southern Leyte mudslide
(updated as of 4:46 pm Feb. 17,2005)
At least 1,000 persons feared buried in Leyte mudslide
By MARS W. MOSQUEDA JR.
SAINT BERNARD, Southern Leyte – More than a thousand people were believed buried underneath the kilometers of mud that wiped out the entire barangay of Guinsaugon, this town, following a mudslide triggered by the collapse of the town’s highest mountain before noon today.
At least 10 kilometers of land was covered by mud when Mount Kan-abag, considered the tallest mountain in the town, collapsed past 11 a.m. today following days of heavy rain, said Southern Leyte Governor Rosette Lerias.
Lerias, as of press time, could not give the exact number of casualties and survivors in the incident but feared that more than a thousand people could have been buried underneath the mudslide because all of the 378 registered houses in the barangay were wiped out, including the Guinsaugon Elementary School that was packed with hundreds of elementary pupils.
“We don’t know the number of casualties yet because our rescuers revealed seeing several dead bodies on the surface of the mud and feared that there could be more underneath,” Lerias, who immediately went to the area to assist rescuers, said in a telephone interview.
Several survivors claimed that days before the incident, they saw an old woman, who was wearing white dress, warning residents that something was going to happen in the area. Residents who saw the old woman said it was the first time they noticed the old woman, adding that she was new to the area and was not a resident.
Rescuers from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Bureau of Fire Protection, Red Cross, and even the local ROTC cadets were able to retrieve survivors from the mudslide but stated that they saw hundreds of dead bodies spread all over the place.
ROTC cadet Henry Boctot, who joined the team of rescuers in the area, said they were able to rescue at least six persons alive using only their hands and woods in the operation. He said he saw several dead bodies in the area but the rescuers were focused on taking out survivors.
Saint Bernard town Mayor Maria Lim said it was a busy day for barangay Guinsaugon because it was a school day and there was a parade that celebrated the anniversary of a women’s organization in the barangay. She said the rain shower was very mild during that time but several survivors told her they felt tremor before the mountain finally collapsed, causing the mudslide.
Lim also believe that hundreds of people could have been killed in the incident because barangay Guinsaugon had a total of 2,000 residents. As of press time, Lim said she still was not able to penetrate the area for fear of another mudslide.
Several survivors, who were house at the town’s church and auditorium, claimed they have lost loved ones and relatives during the mudslide.
Debbie Pilo said she and her husband were able to save themselves from the flowing mud when they climbed a nearby mountain after realizing that something was going to happen.
“There was a slight tremor and my husband and I noticed mud flowing slowly from the mountain and I knew something was going to happen so we rushed towards the other mountain to save our lives,” said Debbie.
Debbie, however, said her brother Romeo and sister Dolores were not able to make it as she saw her siblings’ houses being covered by the rushing flow of mud. Romeo was at home with his five children, who were also unaccounted for as of press time, while Dolores had three children studying at the Guinsaugon Elementary School.
Beauty Cabacungan, Debbie’s neighbor, said she was buying milk at the nearby barangay when she was informed of the mudslide hitting her place. Cabacungan lost her 11-month-old son, her 67-year-old mother, and a house helper who were all inside her house. Her husband is working abroad.
“I was only away for a few minutes and now my baby is gone. They are all gone,” teary-eyed Cabacungan said.
Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, in a mass at the Cebu Cathedral yesterday, urged the people to pray and extend assistance to the victims of the tragedy. He, however, lashed at government officials who failed to warned residents of the danger of a landslide.
Vidal stressed though that the Archdiocese of Cebu is willing to help the victims in any way it can. #

Entire Guinsagon barangay, Saint Bernard town in Southern Leyte wiped out in mudslide
(as of 1:09 PM Feb. 17, 2006)
A noontime landslide hit barangay Guinsagon in Saint Bernard town, Southern Leyte this noon (11:30 a.m. Philippine time), wiping out the entire barangay, including hundreds of houses and a public school, officials said.
Southern Leyte Governor Rosette Lerias said a mountain of mud and sand gave in past 11 a.m. today, covering the entire barangay in this town, resulting to the unconfirmed death of hundreds of persons.
One resident, Beauty, said she was in the town proper to buy milk for her months-old baby when she learned of the landslide. She said she left her baby to the care of her mother and a helper. She said her mother and the helper were buried in the mudslide.
Several other residents who were working on a neighboring mountain claimed they have lost loved ones and children, especially those who were attending a public school in the barangay.
Rescue workers found it hard to penetrate the area because of the mud and the lack of equipments.

Wowowee stampede kills 79, hurts at least 200 persons
Wowowee stampede kills 79, hurts at least 200 persons
By Mars W. Mosqueda Jr.
Seventy-nine people were killed in a stampede at the Ultra stadium in Manila on Saturday as they scrambled to get tickets for a popular Philippine television game show, Wowowee.
Most of the dead were elderly women, crushed against a closed steel gate at the bottom of a slope or trampled underfoot. One child was killed, hospital officials said.
Some witnesses said chaos erupted when someone shouted "bomb" but most survivors blamed the crowd surging for the tickets.
"My mother came here hoping to win a prize," said one man in his 20s, holding her dead hand and sobbing.
More than 200 injured people were taken to one government hospital. Some survivors went to private hospitals and their number was not immediately known.
Police said as many as 25,000 people were lining up outside the Ultra stadium when guards started to hand out ticketsat dawn for the first anniversary celebration of the game show "Wowowee".
"The slope was so steep that when one person stumbled, they fell like dominoes," said Manila's police chief, Vidal Querol.
An army truck took the bodies to a funeral parlour after they had been lined up on the street, their faces covered with towels, sheets and newspapers. Hundreds of shoes and flip-flops were scattered across a narrow driveway.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo visited the injured in hospital and was due to survey the scene of the stampede.
Some tickets for the "Wowowee" show were given away this week but many fans camped out for days to get tickets at the gate.
Even after the stampede, thousands of people refused to leave the area because they wanted a chance at the usual jackpot of 1 million pesos and a special prize for the anniversary of a house and plot of land.
Ambulances had trouble reaching the scene because of the large crowd.
The ABS-CBN network cancelled the event and appealed to those inside and outside the stadium to go home.
"It's insensitive to continue the show," Charo Santos-Concio, head of entertainment at the network, said on television. "We're all devastated."
ABS-CBN said it would pay for the funeral and hospital expenses of victims and survivors.
"Wowowee", on six days a week at midday, is one of the most-watched shows in the Philippines and by communities of Filipinos living abroad.
"The guards could not control the crowd. People were climbing on the roof of a pathway, scaling the fences just to get inside and rushing to a narrow gate," Susan Doblin, who travelled from the central island of Leyte, told Reuters.
"We're very poor. I waited for days outside to try our luck. This is a rare chance for us to win a million pesos." #
