The residents of Barangay Bood, Maribojoc, Bohol have not had access to drinking water for about 72 hours now. They sent an SOS thru the only way possible: with the asphalt street as blackboard, they scrawled the words “help”, “food”, and “H2O” (water) in big letters using soft rock. Here’s the interview of the residents (please click the video of the interview by GMA 7’s Jiggy Manicad below)
After this clip was aired this afternoon, the Bohol governor was phonepatched to respond. He answered with: “we have already prepared relief goods … these are on their way… etc. etc.”. Like a call center agent. He had a script. He never even bothered to get any details on the exact location, number of people missing and where they are feared buried in the rubble, number of residents on the streets who need medicine — nor gave an estimate of how many more hours, or days, it would take to bring over relief.
Her name is Kyla Alexi Bustaliňo, age 10, family and neighbors, their houses have been crushed, they’re staying outdoors and have not slept for three days due to fear of the aftershocks, they’re located in Barangay Bood, Maribojoc, Bohol, they are using plastic basins to catch tubig-ulan (rainwater) just so they would not die of dehydration.
There are people missing in Maribojoc and other sitios, some could still be alive buried under rocks.
