Everyone Is LEAVING SIARGAO We Don't Know What To Do

- We took the offer from our friends in General Luna to stay in their hotel to recharge. Recharge ourselves, our computers and devices and get some videos edited so the world can see what life has been like after Odette on Siargao island.
Las Palmas and Spotted pig cafe are still running their generator for now, but we found out that everyone we know is leaving the island looking for an escape or a way to work. We currently don't know what to do because it's hard to find out what is happening in other parts of the Philippines.
Each day our plans change. We'll keep you updated.
Our names are Jmayel, Sacha & Story. We traveled to Siargao island with Jmayel's mum & Story's grandma just before the Global pandemic that sent the whole planet into quarantine. We got stranded for months and fell in love with island life, now we want to make that life more permanent.
Follow us on this journey :-)

Poppy is so clingy 😁
I think at the end of the day, you should do what is best for everyone in your family. ❤️
Your family including your pup are all welcome to stay in my place in Pangasinan. Let me know. Safety is priority. 💝🙏🇵🇭
You're so nice Michelle. I was thinking the same thing but my new house in Tarlac is still being done. Currently, bathroom being done and kitchen yet to be done. If finished, I was going to offer it to them temporarily while I'm not there.
@@marivicgarlit8298 Congratulations of the finishing of your home. We can have some humility for others during the time of need. God Bless and Stay Safe always🙏
Family comes first. Everywhere you go with them is home. Take care, you guys.
9:25 No skipping ads so J can buy more gadgets, drones, camera that he will use to help people! He said in their FB post, leaving Siargao doesn’t feel right. What a hero!!
Yes no skipping of ads to help them
Gcash sana guys💎🙏
LMFAO!
Pak, old buddy, looks like it backfired. But I guess you're laughing like crazy when the sarcasm wasn't felt.
The add is 55 minutes long, hehe
@@Joyboy206ako nga 30mins tatlong beses ko pa pinanood eh🤪😅💎
It was also in the news too.. The parents were telling stories about their kids there about getting a little panicky when the wind gets strong these days and tries to get back to the place where they evacuated to keep them safe. I guess everyone on the island have been traumatized because of the strong typhoon .. hoping the island and all the people living on it will recover soon 🙏 people have been going back and forth to the island before the holidays to buy some stuffs for their home like generators and other necessities since there's no power yet. it's a tourist spot and I can see a lot of people getting hired to help out the community's rehabilitation. I also have seen some organization that help community to recover from the trauma.. PTSD.
❤
90% of population do not have any resource to buy building materials, food much less generators.
If you ever feel the need to relax and and live the way you guys did in Siargao, feel free to visit Tandag City here in Surigao del Sur. It's only 5 hrs away from Surigao City. Although we were also hit by the typhoon, but somehow it's a big miracle that there's not that much damage in here. Our phone signals and internet here is up now and so as the electricity and water supply. We truly understand the love you guys have for Siargao, but for the meantime it's better for your whole family to find a sanctuary where you can recover and think of better ways on how to rebuild your life there. We are praying for you guys and for the entire people affected by the typhoon. Surely, God will help us recover 🙏🏻 Stay safe ❤️
Tandag is another nice choice. They are talking about going to Cebu and I'm thinking "Are you nuts ??" . I spent 5 days trying to get someone in Carcar some money via Western Union and they - the city - were paralyzed for a week... no power, no cell... no water.. nothing...and barely any of that is coming back anytime soon. I don't know where this couple gets their information from but it's always off, for some reason.
@@SmeeUncleJoe I agree. Life in Cebu right now is very hard and it's not even ideal to stay there for the meantime. Here in Tandag, life is back to normal. Everything is operational. Our geographical location and landscape too is very similar with Surigao City, and I'm sure they will also love it here.
@@ivan_xavier They are fleeing Siargao Island , not Surigao City. They mentioned going there and I hope they do not as it's very bad there. I understand they went to Davao already, which was a pretty good option. Except for the air pollution, it's a pretty decent place to seek refuge for now We both agree, Tandag might have been a good choice also if they don't like big cities.
.
@@SmeeUncleJoe well Siargao and Surigao City were totally damaged and Siargao is an Island part of Surigao City. So basically it's just the same. Even the people in the city are fleeing to Butuan or in any other nearby provinces/cities just to seek shelter on their relatives for the meantime.
GOD Bless & Help all of you!!
You should leave for a while. You should explore more of the Philippines. There are still many beautiful places you got to see. And when Siargao is ready, you can come back if you wish so. Don’t pressure yourselves.
I think you should do whatever you feel you need to do for your health and safety. Ignore the people telling you to stay just to please their own wishes, it’s your life and your safety.
This is what you should consider.
Yes people are still living in a dream when the reality is it is a very high risk to live facing the pacific ocean...the place will be blown away with heavy typhoons because of their geographical location...some people are just closed minded and stucked to an island mentality...climate change is here to stay.
@Frida Pavlaski
This family does’nt wanna move to a Western country, they love tropicals and at the same time the good, happy and friendly environment and cheap to live and Philippines have all that that’s why they fell in love to this country and want to stay no matter what and i don’t blame them i would love to move back there too as soon as i can.
@@Samsungsamsung-uv8fs
There is no such thing as climate change!
They must move to Davao city down south.
Your safety and wellness should be prioritized Jay....
I Love your family so much.... Praying for all of you there typoons victim. .
just a liitle of advice J........I think your family is struggling to stay in Siargao....don't worry what other people will say to you!......it's alright to go to a place where your family will be safe and comfortable!....I know your heart is in Siargao but family first before anything else.......Stay safe.
"don't worry what other people will say to you"... that is why local people hate outsiders coming to their town during the good times.. when sh!t hits the fan, all of them run away.. dramatizing and whining about everything... from simple shower to internet access... GO AWAY.. and STAY AWAY.. leave local people alone, don't contaminate their environments, don't trash their places then leave, don't bring diseases and corrupting their cultures..
@@yrot1123 Huh! Ang cruel mo naman. Iyan din ba sasabihin mo kina Andi at family? Sana huwag ka na lang nagsalita. Do you know kung wala ngang umalis na taga Siargao? Kung wala ka ng bahay matirhan? Doon pa rin sila? Alam mo ba iyan for sure? Taga Siargao ka ba? New Year na dapat maging kind tayo sa treatment sa iba.
John Manila buti nga sila gusto makiramay at magmalasakit sa mga taga siargao
guys, we have to accept Siargao is unlivable in that state :(. It'll take time to recover and all we can do is wait. We are grateful for you, 8MFH, for showing us the real condition of the island, but you guys need rest too. Keep safe guys ♡
yes they have a very honest and unfabricated footage of the area...thankful for their videos...
You’re still traumatize guys if you want to move try Davao contact commander daot or becoming pilipino they can advice you guys They knows mindanao really will where worried about you guys for me siargao is the best it’s peaceful island but it’s you’re desesion good luck and god will guide. You
This event is traumatic for everyone and it’s understandable if you guys decide to leave Siargao, given the situation there now, and come back when everything is fine. Really, it will take time, but surely, SIARGAO WILL RISE SOON! God bless your fam and everyone their in IAO! 🙏🏻💙
So sad for you and the people of siargao..Praying for your healing and good disernment i feel your concern and love God Bless you!
YOLANDA AND FRANK ARE WORST THAN THIS BEFORE
@@marckyrd17 this has multiple landfall though.
don’t ever live in an island especially in the Philippines. This is the country that will get devastated every single year with typhoon,flooding,and earthquakes. Believe me. I was born there. Be wise , keep your suffering away from public knowledge. You will just be criticized for being unknowledgable about any country. Good luck.
Again its tough to find yourself suddenly displaced with no utilities and in some sort of a quandary. Hope you could move out of the island and move somewhere where you know someone at least and rent for the meantime and plan for your next move. You need to slowly recover physically, emotionally and mentally from this unfortunate situation. Praying for you guys. Stay safe!
just like tacloban when it was hit by haiyan-yolanda, but the city recovered after 6 months
Yeah, just like Tacloban, when these typhoon affected areas recover, they will get back and progress even better.
Something to consider is maybe going somewhere else to process and heal. For however long you need. Then when you are ready, and you still want to go back to your Filipino home - Siargao - then do so. Your hearts will know. I am so sorry you guys have to go through this. Praying for your safety and wellness. Stay safe, J Sacha, Story and Poppy.
Sounds sensible. My personal gut feeling is that Siargao will be much more functional and more sustainable along the path to redevelopment within a month time ? No doubt it will take many months for many regions of Philippines to rebuild and return to pre-Typhoon Rai economic sufficiency.
Good idea Godbless
It's not safe getting out of the island because of the new surge. 4000 new cases yesterday. Up from only 200 plus 2 weeks ago.
@@athenagranados8384 Maybe that’s why they don’t want to leave since they dont want to be vaccinated. But J said they are super healthy so maybe no worries from Omicron.
heal from what?
Prayers for healing from the trauma caused by Odette🙏
But behind the fear, you still manage to smile and show the world you are Ok. You are such an inspiration to many.
God bless your family.
In my heart I’m wishing that you could stay but at the same time I feel bad knowing your suffering without having the basic amenities that you guys needed in daily life. It’s a mix feeling honestly bcoz we wanted to see siargaos recovery with you in it but we also worried about your safety and good health. At the end of the day your safety and wellness will be the most important thing. Stay safe and healthy guys. We love you and we’re always here to follow and support your journey wherever you decide to go❤️😇🙏🏼
They are not obliged to stay if they didnt need to. Please dont make it hard for them to decide if they are suffering. They have a child with them so its justifiable.
Yes I also worried in theire Safety specially when people no more food the chaos must be spark all foreingners are in great Dangers..
@@jujunetabaatpangitako430 you're overreacting lol. Siargao is being flooded with relief goods from both the Government and NGOs. the Government are also giving families 5 thousand each to help them rebuild their houses. the real problem there are running water, electricity and internet.
Will continue to support you, whether you decide to stay in Siargao or leave for a place with the basic necessities ♥️ must be hard not having water and electricity every day. Keep safe
You could stay at Davao City while Siargao is rebuilding. The city is still in Mindanao & cost of living is not expensive compare to Cebu or Manila. Davao is also a typhoon-free city. You can easily go back to Siargao from Davao, either by land or plane when everything is ok.
RIGTH.
No Davao it's not near to Siargao..✌Siargao is part of the CARAGA Region (North East ) of Mindanao..While DAVAO is located in the Southern portion🤟..From Surigao to Davao..it will take a 9- hour journey by Bus to reach the area..🙏 Surigao Provines & Agusan Provinces are the nearest areas ..Surigao city & Butuan city are the Best options to stay for awhile..👈
.
Consider Bantayan island north of Cebu. They were not affected with the typhoon and they have the amenities. Nice beaches too.
Anlayo ng Siargao sa Davao City...
Parang Aparri, Cagayan to Manila ang layo..
@@danielblue4460 Yes..it's like far North & Far South of Mindanao.. And Mindanao is so vast & wide !🙂
There are so many wonderful & progressive places in the Philippines, where Filipinos would warmly welcome your family. Try Bacolod City or Iloilo city, the places where the Friendliest people within the country. Go & Renew your Life. Good Luck!
More than ever now is the time people need to stay on Siargao and rebuild not just leave.. I really wish I am there to lend a hand in rebuilding houses. God bless and stay safe guys!
I see your new attempt at getting views is posting other people's popular videos, if you combine this with your tactic of buying subs with g cash you might be on to a winning formula😆

Thank you for staying
I am praying that you will really stay for longer or even forever 💕🤗🙏
Siargao needs people like you…hope you stay there but I understand your worries. Stay safe and positive. ❤️

I just watch the fam vlog the whole night yesterday (vlog marathon).then I noticed now your subscribers are increasing.happy for the fam..from 269k now it's 272k🎉🎉💚❤️🇵🇭
This is the right moment to document the place from its ruins to recovery. Thought it would take years to make it stand back from its original state but it is a good content for influencer, vlogger to broadcast the whole story behind it.
Jay, whatever your family's decision might be and wherever you guys go, please do not lose your curly locks!!!
Your feelings & decisions now are valid. It's ok to move out and come back when everything is working out again. To live without power, water, & other basic necessities is not easy. You can move to nearby province or to Luzon for the meantime & heal
You can leave anytime you want never let yourself be suffered, siargao people knows how to start again.
spot on!!
Given the circumstances and the overwhelming roller coaster of emotions, it’s beautiful to see all of you laugh and smile. I think you all are such a very beautiful family. God Bless you all on your journey to recovering from Odette. Hugs and much love from the USA.💕🇺🇸
Praying for you and your darling family. I have seen a video where relief supplies were being brought to different islands by boat and they also had their dog with them. Perhaps you could find a boat to take you all where there is power, supplies, running water and so forth, with your dog. Whatever decision that you make or have made, please know that I at least will understand completely. Story is the most important thing, her safety and well being has to come first. May the Lord be with you during this difficult time, may His peace surround and fill you and may the path He has for you be made clear. God bless.
I’ve been saying this before when you were still thinking of staying in the island as residents. I said that Yes, Siargao is an island but unlike the mainland, it has no big hospitals and limited only to take care of minor ailments. Everything is mostly dependent on the mainland as to produce and livestock supplies. If something happens like a calamity, the island being geographically isolated will have a hard time to recuperate and look what happened! It will take months for the electricity, water and basic necessities to come back perhaps months to a year. So, a foreigner like you who are not used to live with the inconveniences around esp. with a child, should take consideration that it is really not practical anymore to stay and ride it out. Some of your friends may stay but they probably owned businesses and properties that they had to work it out. I know you left and relocated to Davao already and it’s the right thing to do. You can recuperate there and start life again. Think about your child who needs stability and emotional healing. You may consider whether to live or stay away in another coastal area again. Ask help from fellow vloggers Kulas or Kumander D the best place to stay for your family. It was you Jay who said you just love to stay in an island close to the beach though you’re not really a beach goer and doesn’t even surf but you love a laid back life style, Siargao has that for you. The house you rent is perfect for the family’s personality. Your location is North, not in a busy community, has privacy on top of the hill that you kept to yourself only. Everything is change now and why not make life anew somewhere in Mindanao like Bukidnon ,CDO or Davao. You can always visit Siargao again when things get back to normal.
sensible advice...yes this probability of recurrence is very high due to its geographical location...consider this phenomenon a big warning and should be taken seriously...don't listen to people who have businesses or properties in siargao ...think about how would it be if it happens again...look at your actual video footage during that time...it is enough to make a serious decision to move out..hearing your daughter cried is enough to make that decision...this place is facing the pacific ocean...recurrence is high probability rate.
Anywhere in this world whether an island or in mainland, no body could predict if where the typhoon or any calamities hits worst.. the best weapon is Prayers , pray for protection.. etc.
And if it's our time to die it's our time. If it's not, means still have hope and purpose to live in this world and heavenly Father have planned each and everyone of us.
@@merlinecacebes
Amen! 🙏🏼
@@merlinecacebes nasa tao ang gawa nasa Dios ang awa...if you know that a place is prone to typhoon and heavy floods you would think a million times of your safety...and if yes its not your time to die you are alive but no water food home light etc essential for living...what are you living for?...God created us to think and use our mind...Prayers with action.
Davao is the best place for them.
This is only a trials in this world but need more patience. Rebuilt fight, trust strong and faith. I hope you guys stay in Island. Everything happens has a reason. My hometown also was wipe out thanks to God no casualty everything is okay except the roof some old houses terrible bad destroyed typhoon Odette. Anyway life is too short enjoy every minute as long you guys are safe and good.
Yes it’s true,lots of islands destroyed but thanks no one died there. Kulas ,becoming Pilipino helping Dinagat Island.God bless everyone
Whether you stay or temporarily transfer in other places, we still support you.
Its so hard to live in a place where there are no amenities you are used to like hospitals, markets, good communication ATM, etc. You can still help Siargao anyway you want and keep contact with someone to look over your property.
Siargao will rise again.
God bless you see
What a cutie girl 👧
How about their properties they sale it or give it to other who needs it
I love your family Jmayel, Sacha, adorable Story and Poppy Love ❤️ .❤️🥰 stay safe and praying for you.
GOD Bless the owners and officers of Las Palmas resorts..good hearted people extending help to affected locals and tourist🙏🏻♥️
I've read this somewhere...
Opportunity comes to everyone it depends on you whether you take it or leave it. Learn to take risk or play hard because in the end you will be thankful for your struggle 😊
Stay strong j, Sacha, story and poppy. ❤️
When we experienced super typhoon Reming on Nov. 30, 2006, we left our place in Legaspi city and spend most of December and January in Manila, just to be able to get over what we experienced during the typhoon, especially the flashfloods of mud, rocks, boulders, and all the debris that went along with it. Then we went back to Legaspi with positive energy and start rebuilding again what was left. It helps a lot to change place after a traumatic experience, it will do you good immensely.
Lingaw ko na si Reming. Yaon kami sa Tiwi pero nakadakul kami ning ubod. Duman ako nagsawa. Miss ko na ang ubod dahil maluya mga bagyo digdi sa manila buda diit lang ang mga niyog na puwedeng matumba kung may mag-abut na makusog na bagyo. 😂
You may leave Siargao for now until electricity and internet connection will be back so that Story and you guys can avail fresh fruits and vegies and can live comfortably
Cebu is slowly getting back, slowly, several parts have water and electricity too...
I think it is a good idea for you guys to go to a different island for a while just to heal and recuperate. And also to get enough supplies you need to get your home back in top condition
That smile at the end tells me you and the fam will be okay, J. A week after Supertyphoon Yolanda hit Leyte, we also evacuated. We returned after about two months to rebuild. Don't lose hope for Siargao. Stay strong! Oh, and it was good to see Tal in your video.
This is exactly what happens when you choose to live in an area that is constantly in danger of serious disasters. I lived in samar when typhoon haiyan hit in 2013, the place was totally destroyed. Fortunately I had the choice to move away unlike the locals who had to stay and live with their totally destroyed homes and lives and all the death. A very sad situation. You are Very fortunate to be able to get away if you choose and never come back. Or even return when other people have cleaned the whole place up and it's almost as good as before. Take care and good luck
Thanks Jay for your report of the place and about you and your family. Whatever your family decides the people will be behind you.
Leave for now, you and the families safety is more important. You can always go back.
Don't leave...the Best days are coming. Your home looks good and you 💕did a good job with the Filipinos, neighbors, who Helped you. PRAY 🙏🙏🙏Daily.
Davao City is a good option to relocate. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies there.
I agree! They can vlog vegan restaurants and coffee shops again.
@@mannypacu6460
Happy days again! Good thinking! 😂😂😂😂😂
If everyone else is leaving...why are you still there? ...start a new life ...let it go ...let Siargao Island go.... take your family to somewhere they can live a normal life...
How exciting to start over!
I hope the government there in Siargao are doing their best to help the people, I understand how you feel, but still I hope Filipinos will show their generosity to your family, you're such good people, wish you love Philippines. God bless !!!
the government have already started giving 5 thousand to each families in Dapa and GL. restoring the utilities there is ;the real problem and it's tough to fix because of their location and the logistics. plus we need to understand that there are bigger Island who has got destroyed like Cebu and Bohol and the national government are prioritizing those areas for economical reason.
😁 comeback soon, feel free and don't hesitate when Filipinos rebuild Siargao and you do the same cycle.💯
If Phuket Thailand rebuilds after the Tsunami, surely, Typhoon Odette will also bounce back in the future! Wishing everybody a stronger mind and heart ❤️
What? Typhoon Odette will bounce back in the future?
😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆 hopefully not LOL
I am glad your subscribers is soaring! So many are following you and interested in your whereabouts. Stay safe and healthy.
The spirit of your little girl is so healing, so much love in her, reflection of the love you both share. Try not to overload your mind, take things moment to moment, your still healing from all of this. Your stronger than you think... ❤
Go back home, to your roots and re-connect with your family. You can come back to Siargao when everything becomes normal.
Go home for a while to the safety of your family. You’re all suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and need time to process and heal. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sorry you had to experience this hectic event.
Stop feeling bad for them there happy there they prefer making content for TH-cam
@@AlexMAGA2024 I'm glad theyr'e safe, but they are clearly suffering from PTSD, which needs a safe space to heal. You can't jump and panic every time the wind starts blowing. That's no way to live.
I can no longer count the typhoons I've been through including 4 of the strongest super typhoons. Nor do I jump or panic when the wind blows, even in a very strong wind. Survival mode clicks instead and my thinking sharpens.
@@eelchiong6709 yea same as me foreigners are you dramatic and always fake cry just to get more views 😂
@@eelchiong6709 Good for you, but not everyone is the same... and especially when you have a small child and puppy that you need to protect.
Guys I would suggest you leave the island and head to Cebu City. The Red Doors hotel is 1500php a night and the Elizabeth hotel is 2450 php per night. My friends checked in yesterday. I personally left Lapu Lapu to Manila 3 days after the typhoon hit. I would strongly suggest you guys get to safety asap.
Thanks for sharing this video I'm glad you all didn't get hurt keep looking up the best is yet to come.✌️
You can leave if ferry is running. You can take your whole family, car and poppy. Maybe Butuan, CDO or Davao if Surigao City is still a mess and come back later when Siargao has all the utilities restored.
The Best suggestion so far ! Although theres travel restrictions in CDO & Davao..in the last months these 2 areas have lots of Covid cases..Not quite sure if the couple have been vaccinated ?
@@netizenn7586 Uh oh. That won’t work for them. They dont want to be vaccinated. They are very careful what they put in their bodies, even antibiotics J did not take them.
The typhoon has affected everyone in Siargao physically, emotionally and psychologically. Maybe its time to go somewhere where you can heal. Whatever plans you have, we will still support you. I can see in your faces how you feel. Story and Poppy are what brings you sunshine. It will be another challenge but wherever you go in the Philippines, the Filipinos will welcome and help you. If you decide to leave the Philippines, it is okay. Follow the desires of your heart. So much is going on in different parts of the world, floods, fire, earthquake, etc. I've watched those in youtube. We need more prayers for mankind.
Absolutely true ! Amen...🙏
Siargao is a beautiful place currently with a lot of damage. Our house on Mactan Island Cebu has no power, many fallen trees, limited fuel available and a lot of closed stores. Hang in there.
Stay Happy with your family
if you think the place is unsafe now then think about it wether to leave or not.. there are a lot of things to consider but cheer up we will support you whatever you decide! godbless you and your family, the whole of siargao and stay safe.
I sent you money via PayPal I hope you received it and are using it wisely.
😯🙊🤦♀️
J did say he will help by documenting through their vlogs the current situation. The money will help him buy a drone that would surely capture a wide scope.
Davao City is an option too. Stay safe, 8MFH! We wish you the very best and will continue supporting you ❤️
Metro Manila is under Alert Level 3 which means movement is restricted especially for children and those above 65 years old and so it is not recommended. Butuan City is a good alternative place to live as it has all the amenities not to mention it is just a few hours away from Surigao City.
I agree, Manila would be risky for them especially they dont want to be vaccinated.
@@mannypacu6460 Jay and Sacha have been fully vaccinated as they said in one of their vlog but not Story as she is only 4 years old.
As much Cebu sounds good place to retreat from Siargao. Cebu and Bohol also received large damage from the typhoon as well, electricity and water is slowly coming back but still very sarce. You can try retreat to Davao or Dumaguete City of the Negros Oriental Island, or other areas that aren't much damage from the typhoon. Stay safe everyone
Dumaguete had some infrastructure damage but what is of greater concern is the devastation north of the city in Bais etc. Many dead, most houses wiped out. I would imagine again that there will be a lot of municipal refugees crowding into DGTE. Dauin too sustained serious damage and some fatalities but Bais region is a disaster.
Hi, this is my first ever comment on youtube. Glad you're still in one piece and your family is safe. Super typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions are some of the disasters that the Filipinos have to lived with unfortunately but they always rise up and see life as 'half full' rather than 'half empty'.
I hope that you can recover soon from the traumatic event and continue doing vlogging to inspire and educate other people.❤
P.S. Its nice to see my nephew's artwork/designs and paintings (in las palmas) on your video.
Take care everyone and keep safe always, we pray for your past recovery from storm, stay strong for your family. Jay and Sacha and Story and puppy too.
Stay where you are I know so sad, so devastated but there’s a greatness coming. We’re here still supporting keep vlogging
I think anyone that judges you for leaving is not in your position. I think even most Filipinos would leave if they had the means to do so. I'm sure many would stay and help rebuild a home they grew up in, but I'm sure many would go to stay with relatives in a less affected area. Let's be honest though. Most westerners would have a real hard time roughing it with no power and running water for months. If there's another option, 99 percent are going to take it. If you're judging from afar, I challenge you to turn the power and water off in your home for 24 hours and then see how you feel. Oh yeah.....sleep outside with no roof over your head also. Good luck.
This will pass. I’m sure, things will get better in time.
As long as we are alive, there is hope. Stay positive.
Filipinos are resilient .
I believe you guys may be suffering from Post traumatic stress disorder PTSD. Your thoughts and feelings are real. I am a veteran of United States Army. I understand what happens to the human brain after traumatic stress. I hope you guys can find a much better place to live for now. What’s best for your daughter is the most important thing. Thoughts and prayers. Stay safe healthy and be strong 💯💪🏾🙏🏾
Puppy is so lucky to have a home. God bless you more 8miles. 🙏🏼👍❤️
Our prayers for you all!
Hope that you make decisions soon , first & foremost is your all safety ,
& basic conditions are not easy , sure there are other areas available for all of you ,
God bless & be safe !!
Filipinos are resilient and always optimistic to overcome hurdles..always smiling. YOU have that spirit too and always finding finding ways to be positive minded. Very Filipino, I'm so amazed of your family..INSPIRING!
God Bless Your Family and may God enlighten your decision what you need to do next...
Cebu is also a great place to stay while waiting for Siargao to recover, it's been hit by the typhoon also but the northern part wasn't badly hit. If you ever think to stay for a while in Cebu I would recommend Bantayan island up north, it's a paradise island but it's also touristy so you won't have problems with transportation, accomodations, internet and stuff.
please if you leave please dont leave the puppy😟
You don't know them very well, do you!!
save yourself so you can save others later you also got a kid to take care of . whether you want to help later on or relocate that is up to you
Left side of the country like Palawan is rarely hit by typhoon, Cebu is also good choice
Give poppy a toy when he does that. Please don’t leave Poppy. I’m sitting beside my best friend who has days to live due to cancer. Don’t let him down
Siargao will Rise up again better than Before
Same like tacloban rising again right.
No worries Siargao will back to normal again, will takes time but , everything will back to be beautiful Island again, take care three of you and puppy!!!
I saw the Traveling Clatt behind you Sacha @8:07 he has a TH-cam channel too.... I’m not skipping ads since after Odette🙏🤗hope you’ll stay safe...
You guys are so lucky that you have the privilege to leave the island, unlike the locals who will need to tough it out because of such catastrophe. I hope that foreign business owners or content creators who benefitted from the beautiful island during its heyday will also tough it out and rebuild the island. Instead of sadly, leaving it up to the locals.
Someone commented they are now in Davao. Too bad the locals don’t have TH-cam income from viewers not skipping ads.
We should stop comments like these.. It's like you're shaming them for maybe wanting to leave.. You have to understand that they are guests of the country/island and we shouldn't expect them to be as resilient as the locals.. If you have the priveldge to choose to live a more comfortable life, wouldn't you?
Think properly.
These are Brits, not Pinoys.
These are 1st worlders, not 3rd worlders.
Plain and simple, they don't have what it takes.
Let them decide who and what they are. Don't shame or coerce them.
There's a saying, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
As a single man I would stay. With a family I would leave.
You guys are literally our eyes on the ground but do what you need to do to heal. The jungle itself will recover somewhat quickly but everything else will take a little longer. Parts of Cebu are still out of power and it's similar to the situation there. We're rooting for you, whatever you decide.
As a hurricane survivor I encouraged you guys to stay and rebuild but it was only a month we had without power and water. It is not sustainable living not knowing when power and water will be restored. Much prayers for a safe move.
Maybe you can ask Mike and Nelly if you could stay in there condominium at BGC, Makati since they won't be coming back anytime soon because Austria is on the red list.
i don't think it's as easy as that. condominiums also observe safety protocols and they need to be very strict in implementing that especially now that we're back on level 3.
If they are going to Manila to stay at a friend's condo, don't you think they would prefer to go to Cavite where Sacha's own father has a house? Its vacant because Sacha's Dad & Pinay StepMom are stranded in England due to covid.
Every cloud has a silver lining. It seems difficult to see now how Siargao will rise, but it will. The people are resilient, positive and resourceful. You will discover too that you are stronger than you think and you will be proud of yourselves. You may not have seen the news yet due to lack of signal but yes the world knows about the typhoon. There has been an outpouring of foreign aid. Lots of devastation where the typhoon made a landfall. The video posted by Sunny has been published. I have watched her interview by a news agency. Also I just read a news article about you guys (ABS-CBN News Article "British family who found island paradise in Siargao face uncertainty after 'Odette'"). Watch "Rise Siargao". It might give you a sense of hope. I hope you find a nice place to stay while Siargao recovers. Good to see Tal. Whatever you decide to do, power on! Take care, watching from NZ.
A very lovely and nice family. Hope you can find a place to stay comfortably. I am so happy that you can still smile and laugh...seeing Story is such a joy...🙏❤🌹
Yehey, 2nd video for today! Hi 8MFH ❤️
I think other cities not affected like Davao could be nice place for temporary shelter while rebuilding Siargao if still no electricity and water.
It's about time for Siargao people to build back better. Nature can rebuild its own. Document it as it unfolds.
What a load of vicarious nonsense!
You could have find ways to leave Siargao but you didn't leave Puppy...so much respect for you guys
Happy to see ya back again after the typhoon and see u all guys safe n healthy is all the matters .. stay safe
J do whats best for the family. Besides, Philippines has a lot of islands more than 7,000 . Was that Tal behind Sacha?
Yeah I think its him.
I really feel sorry for you... I really want you guys to stay but that will be very hard and difficult for you, specially for Story. I totally understand if you will leave, Siargao will raise again, and I'm sure it will welcome you again when it'll be habitable for you guys.
You definitely need the basics for sure, so go where you need to go for now until things get back to normal there's no point in making yourself crazy you've been through enough, sincerely cliff
oh look at the two poppy and Story they're both sweet 😋. Actually if you're really want to stay in the Philippines you can move to Davao ,Papang daughter can help you to settle everything,but if you're really worried 😟 You can decide to go back in UK.
