You’ll be surprised how fast those brown foliage will turn green again with that much rain. Now you have a tiny glimpse of how the Filipinos have become so resilient and remained joyful. It can be so traumatic going through that cat5 typhoon so don’t forget to take care of each other and talk about it until you no longer feel the fear you felt. God bless you and stay safe
People who left must have a choice , must have means , must have a place to go or to go back to that is why they left. They probably have relatives who can take them in. Others are unlucky and need to stay because they don't have the above and have no choice but to stay.. and most own house lots , lands they owned or inherited.. I think it is very hard to rebuild a home in Siargao since most materials have to be shipped from the mainland just like in Hawaii, materials have to shipped from the mainland US.
They have grown to like their home here.with only a small repair needed..with the landladgy Jane 's big financial support from 8MFH subscri bers,their place where they are renting can be repaired too...God b less .!
I just love watching the Eight Milers, and their positive attitude towards their predicament. Slowly but surely, you will bounce back. The trees will regrow leaves, new plants will grow, and soon you’ll have a “jungle” again. That’s nature for you. It’ll take some time but in the meantime you’ll be busy with other things. Right, Story? Our lovely Story always has a big smile on her face. Power on J, Sacha, Story and Poppy! You’ll be alright.

You guys definitely have Filipino blood in you, staying and helping others, welcome to Filipino life on the islands. You guys will have no problem adapting to Filipino life. Stay safe and God bless.
The typhoon had made the whole family stronger and may God continue to bless you and protect you guys. Story's such a ray of sunshine even through such challenging time.
To those devatated areas I think they need help from millionaires who can provide chin saws to cut down many fallen trees for building materials to the homeless up to this time.Our government can only afford 5k for each family with severely damaged. how about it Millionaires of our land ...
I’m surprised they’re not turning the coconut trees into coco lumber and use for rebuilding also. Coconut can be planted too while growing other crops so that there will be coconut trees again in the years to come. So glad to see your family thriving. The Filipino spirit slowly rubbing on you. Philippines do get a lot of sun and rain. Anything can grow. The Island will be lush and green again in no time. The storms are just part of what make Filipinos who they are. Keep the hope for a brighter tomorrow. Even Poppy is celebrating.
I agree, the coconut tree can be use also as post in building a house . In total every part of a coconut tree is very useful, its lack of machinery that slows down cleaning up the whole town
Coconut lumber is no good for permanent structures, they rot easily and structurally weak. It is only good for temporary structures or for form and false works lumber then you can discard them or use them for firewood
I agree,, in negros, we have to pay for the coconut tree and then have somebody cut as other lumber are very expensive. These are very mature trees so they are very good.
Perhaps there is a belief there, too, that fallen trees cannot be used for building material because the building will fall. May sound weird, like "Don't start building in March" for Ilocanos , "ta MARSood" (it will fall).
I have never felt the need to comment on disaster vlogs before but the emotion, the journey that you are taking us on shows the real people you are, the rollercoaster of emotions experiencing the typhoon, and the positivity that you have managed to inject into the community in which I can see you belong. I felt like I almost should know the people that you mention were "there and over there". Shows that you belong. All the comments I read (and I've taken the time to read most of them) tell me that people know you and appreciate your involvement, with one of th ebiggest being that you're making people aware of the extent of what happened. Your initial preparations, the typhoon itself, through your travels throughout the island, and the way your spirits rise when you know that finally, you are not doing this recovery on your own, speaks volumes. Kudos to you all (including your landlady)
Hello J and Sasha, we went thru the same thing with Pinatubo here in the north but now everything looks green again. Eventually, by the grace of God everything will be alright again. We just pick up the pieces, relay on each other (Filipino community) and our strong belief in a Supreme Being guiding us is how we Filipinos survive all these years. Ingat kayo (take care).
The Vegan British family is admirable.They come to love and live in our country known to be frequently visited by typhoons hear round .Congrats and thanks so much to our Filipino country men who are always ready to help in times of calamities . Keep the true Filiino bayanihan spirit .
It is so nice to see a video like this. Seeing people and your family coming together to help rebuild Siargao despite the hard situation. God bless you all. Thank you for inspiring all of us. 👏👏👏💯
popie had me screaming with laughter when she went zooming through the yard and then went home to rest funny stuff thanks i needed that. such a beautiful family!!
This is called the Bayanihan spirit that filipinos possess…. Its a special tradition of a group of people helping someone in need, one trait that foreigners love so much about the Filipinos.
I know it’s hard! But watching you guys and how you handle yourselves in trying times is truly inspiring. You will look back on these times on how they molded you both into your future of . Hope, Dreams, hard work and FREEDOM most importantly:)❤️
Story is surely growing up, I remember growing up with devastating typhoons, but for some reason we always recover and rebuild no matter how scarce the money is ,community help each other
Inspite of the calamity that just occurred, you are a beacon of positivity and hope. You are handling it well, just shows how balanced your family is. Again, showing Story how to deal with it is an excellent example parents should take heed.Thank you for showcasing and bringing awareness to the world how Philippines life is before and after a vicious typhoon. Just staying on and helping your viewers to understand first hand how and what folks over there are dealing with, a big + to you in our hearts 🥰. Keep it up, guys! More power to you and the folks affected by Odette. 🙏🏼❤️
I really like looking at Story because she has a very big playground every day which I kinda envy her despite all the things that happens. She's full of joy and her smile means hope for each and everyone around her.
Story has the best laugh! Hearing her giggle in background as she is playing with Poppy as you both are speaking is priceless!! ❤️❤️ Looks like progress is happening! ❤️❤️
this is all part of living in the philippines. so glad you decided to stay and start anew and learn pinoy resiliency. siargao is one of the best places to stay and live in. power on guys.
Of course they are making money out of people’s misfortune and misery….. like all the other foreign vloggers… good for the vlog… and people send them money and goods instead to the real needy, those who have nothing and lost everything…pinoy nga naman…
@@AshWhole-xu3pw hay naku lol much better namn paanorin Yan kaysa sa vlog na hobot hobad ganyan namn talaga buhay kailangan talaga Ng pagkakakitaan lol your just jealous brother 🙄🙉😤may it's part of their dreams blogging about their life journeys!! basta I love supporting thier vlog so if don't like to support them they didn't beg you for your support lol 🙄😤👎
Filipinos are hard workers and resilient. It is so heart warming that EMFH has loved and embraced our culture and the people by staying behind after the storm and helping in rebuilding. We have so much respect and love to your family. Thank you for everything you do. You make us Filipinos proud of our own country and for showing the Philippines to the world. ❤❤❤
Yes Beth I am thankful to that they are sharing there. Story about the before and after the storm,how they all help each other in hard times I wish America was more like the Filipinos mutch love they have in there ❤️ hearts I myself had a problem no where to go or what I was to do at age 17 thank GOD for my older Filipino girl friend who took me in +took care of me .she came from the Filipinos island she was so sweet and so kind to me and she keap me away from bad people +drugs she was a blessing for me in those hard days in my life GOD BLESS THE FILIPINOS.
Nature will find its way back. Help it to regrow and surely everyone will also benefit from it. I was not able to help financially but i have shared a lot of your videos in social media and hope to get more help! Happy new year guys!
A huge thank you for loving Siargao Philippines ! Stay safe 8 miles and God bless ....YOU CAN DO IT...Hugs for Story from Manila ..just keep praying and keep believing ..
The family refused the donation from their supporters. Instead, the donation was forwarded to the DSWD and Pilar PNP to be distributed to selected community members like senior citizens.
Napa Mahal na sila sa Siargao Island 🏝️...kahit mahirap ang Buhay dyan parin sila kahit my unos na Dumating.. thank You Guys for the Love our Country. Stay Strong.
We thought of storms like vacuums cleansing the air after passing our way, feel the fresh air, so pure and clean, it's nature's way of cleaning the air, you ll get by, everything is going back to normal we all pray for that Jay, Sach, Story and Poppy.
Poppy is turning into a very beautiful dog. How you have saved her is just tremendous. I hope for many years of happiness for her in your family. She crawled under the right steps!
glad to see you, guys, have a big smile again ~ love seeing Puppy doing the zoomies! the plan is cool! also, you may want to ask for or buy some vegetable seeds so you can grow them. you may ask your landlady for a small garden where you can plant next to your house. stay safe and keep those big smile on your faces ~
You are all amazing Jay Sasha, Story and poppy and all people in Siargao. Wow! poppy enjoying running around.. fantastic! I loved it when Jay says Oh! Hello beast to Story and Story pointed out to poppy here's the actual beast 🐈 ..😊..❤️❤️❤️
It’s 5AM in the morning in Texas, I so enjoy watching your blogs even if a year ago. Watching Storey grow and learn is delightful. I have 5 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren blessings from God. I will continue to watch and try to put your travels in order ❤️ from MeMe
The country's situation is really difficult right now. People can't go anywhere without being reprimanded on they're vaccine situation. One can't enter malls and do the usual stuff without the jab. It is best that we rely on what nature will give us. Talbos ng kamote, alugbati, pancit-pancitan are some of the vegetables which are easy to grow. It only takes days and you can harvest from it. It is also good for salads. It is good to see that you now have that water tank and the solar fan. Time runs so fast, soon, everything will be running smoothly, just like Poppy, happily running around the greenery.
I just found your channel through you video of the typhoon. Never heard of Siargao before, or particularly cared. Now I know you're staying there and contributing to the recovery of the island, I'm fully invested in your videos and can't wait to see how you and the community get back on your feet. Keep documenting everything, it's so interesting to see the power of the human spirit and resolve.
Siargao will rise again! Things are getting better soon. Good to see your house had the window glasses installed. Kudos to your landlady and papang’s family. Keep the positivity and the bayanihan spirit. God bless your family and everybody there. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Jay and Sacha, you will become a little braver in life guys after experiencing some traumatic experience like typhoon, floods and even earthquake. Some day if you will experience the same you know already what to do and you can prepare for it. I admire your positive behavior Jay and Sacha and you show us that even your new to that experience still you manage to survive it like most Filipinos do. Back there in the island your struggling without having electricity while here abroad were so worried again with the rising cases of omicron and delta cases and we don’t know when this nightmare will end. Stay healthy and safe you guys. We keep you in our prayers too and all those affected people of the typhoon❤️😇🙏🏼
Truly the mighty hands of God protect you. We loved you 8 miles from home.. We've waitin your vlog for the whole day. Thank you soooo much.. Kisses to Story and huggss to poppy. 😘😘😘😘
Super glad you're feeling positive again about living in the island. Your vlogs bring so much joy and hope to typhoon Odette survivors. Also, I couldn't help but noticed that Story looks so grown up now! Such a cutie ❤️ Take care guys!
We're very hopeful all will get be back slowly but surely. Thank you for keeping us in the know of your situation. You look a bit more relieved now, Mary Jane's arrival definitely helped. Story has grown so much more! She is very brave, thanks to your love and affection, she's adapting to this awful mother nature blast. Love you guys AND Poppy!
It is amazing to know how Batanes people can cope with frquent strong storms in their islands. Their houses are made of stone but the roof I think are made of very thick nipa .. maybe .. not sure what is the exact material for their roofs.
Bamboo trees are what they need to plant And use it some day good resource for indoor and outdoor as fence, door, bence, couch, display cabinet, school projects and many more you could built or use it for. Same with those coconut trees that are toppled.
maybe a vegetable garden. Kamote (sweet potato) grows fast although the tubers grow slow but you at least have some greens and you can turn it into a juice/tea by boiling the fresh leaves
I had planned to visit Siargao for rest and recreation, in January, but that’s not to be so anymore. Or maybe I will once the hotels are up and running, and when non essential travel is allowed again. Maybe I’ll say hi to the Eight Milers! Keep safe everyone in Siargao!!!
Papang might want to entertain the idea of diversifying the crops that he will grow in lieu of coconuts. Aside from bananas, he might want to allocate a few acres to short-term crops those that can be harvested in 45-60 days. Many vegetable varieties are in this category. He just has to match which vegetable is compatible with the kind of soil in his farm. Having produce in such a short time is a good psychological boost for everyone.
So glad to see you recovering from that trumatic experience you will tern more about nature and life story will grow with love and values..God Bless Siargao and the people of Siargao! Keep safe
It's going to take time, but you've already made such amazing progress. I really enjoy seeing how you interact with the locals; just shows you what a cooperative bunch you all are. P.S Poppy is so cute and she clearly loves her human family. Sending abundance from Portugal.
Finish watching 8MFH vlog, I'm happy to see everyone on happy mood including puppy and Papang Family... I'm glad to say with laughter that i watched all 4 longest commercial without skipping... That's okay for Love of Story... Stay safe & Healthy 8MFH families around the world 🇵🇭✌️❤️👍
Seeing this beautiful family feeling "normal" and happy makes us all happy too. I'm glad that things are getting better slowly but surely. I know it's easier said than done but maybe the island should start building sturdier homes like brick homes or at least cemented walls instead of wood. I know the costs is a lot more but if you have to go against typhoons like these it may just be worth it. Maybe the island should upgrade.
First of all, we love supporting your channel and the love/admiration you have for the Filipino people. I just hope that you've learned from the traumatic/devastating events you've experienced. A typhoon does not come out of nowhere like an earthquake (you do know that Philippines is prone to that too, right?)...it gives you an ample amount of time to prepare for it. Using a whole sheet of plywood to cover all the windows(using screws...not nails) will provide protection. Storing canned goods/drinking water as soon as a typhoon is predicted to hit the islands is a must (Invest on a generator). Purchase a few tie down straps to secure your water tank. BTW typhoon season goes on for a few months, so don't be surprised if another one comes your way. Anyway, more power to your family for sticking around and helping re-build.
I'm so happy everybody back again..started fixing the mess of typhoon Odette.. devastated everybody move on and started fixed their property..God will secure your Life now and keeping Safe..to God be the Glory.. God bless you always Amen And Amen 🙏🏾
Being so optimistic helps a lot to rebuild again siargao and your family are gonna part of this. You inspired us. We cant wait for more vlogs. Love u all & god blessed all of you.

That is called Filipino bayanihan. Nothing to be left behind. 🇵🇭 👍
Yes correct! Lift one another up
Hold on God will take care of everything
Filipino bayanihan with payment 🤣🤣 there's no free service today🤣
I Salute this family for not leaving Siargao.
Probably most of the residents who left no longer have a stick home, so that may have been their only choice.
@@MaximaToluene as of Jan 6 they are still in siargao, no post about going to Cebu on their FB page.
@@Raishinn0821 yeah sorry my bad, it was a post i saw from one of their friends in their facebook group last dec 24. Might have not happened. Thanks
People who left must have a choice , must have means , must have a place to go or to go back to that is why they left. They probably have relatives who can take them in. Others are unlucky and need to stay because they don't have the above and have no choice but to stay.. and most own house lots , lands they owned or inherited.. I think it is very hard to rebuild a home in Siargao since most materials have to be shipped from the mainland just like in Hawaii, materials have to shipped from the mainland US.
They have grown to like their home here.with only a small repair needed..with the landladgy Jane 's big financial support from 8MFH subscri bers,their place where they are renting can be repaired too...God b less .!

We haven't seen them lift one hand to help others, Just Wine because their window leaks.
They are enjoying the Filipino Bayanihan spirit as a recipient, not as a participant. Maybe they will donate all the $$$ from their vlogs?
You guys definitely have Filipino blood in you, staying and helping others, welcome to Filipino life on the islands. You guys will have no problem adapting to Filipino life. Stay safe and God bless.
The typhoon had made the whole family stronger and may God continue to bless you and protect you guys. Story's such a ray of sunshine even through such challenging time.
Thanks for staying and helping Siargao. We have your respect, we love you more. Salamat!
Helping one another especially during times of calamities is the number one traits of Filipinos 🤗👉❤️🇵🇭👉🌏

Come on people. . . Don't tell me you don't here gleeful giggles in the background. Sounds like joy in paradise to me. Even puppy is happy, . . .
I am sure it is a big comfort to know you had not been completely abandoned. Glad to see spirits up.

Don’t mind the plants my friend they will be back in weeks, the coconut tree probably 3-6 months or a year they will look like before.
And it’s always good to talk to the locals, that would be the advice when you didn’t know what to do from the start.
Plant new coconut trees to replace the bald destroyed trees. It takes years just like Yolanda
i saw the response of your viewers sending monetary help,and it is enormous how generous the people are in sending help.
Hope we get to see them helping the comunity with the generous funds they are reciving and not just pocket it all

I just found your channel through you video of the typhoon. Never heard of Siargao before, or particularly cared. Now I know you're staying there and contributing to the recovery of the island, I'm fully invested in your videos and can't wait to see how you and the community get back on your feet. Keep documenting everything, it's so interesting to see the power of the human spirit and resolve.
Siargao will rise again! Things are getting better soon. Good to see your house had the window glasses installed. Kudos to your landlady and papang’s family. Keep the positivity and the bayanihan spirit. God bless your family and everybody there. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Jay and Sacha, you will become a little braver in life guys after experiencing some traumatic experience like typhoon, floods and even earthquake. Some day if you will experience the same you know already what to do and you can prepare for it. I admire your positive behavior Jay and Sacha and you show us that even your new to that experience still you manage to survive it like most Filipinos do. Back there in the island your struggling without having electricity while here abroad were so worried again with the rising cases of omicron and delta cases and we don’t know when this nightmare will end. Stay healthy and safe you guys. We keep you in our prayers too and all those affected people of the typhoon❤️😇🙏🏼

Happy to watch new vlog of you guys.. no skipping ads to help other people there in Siargao..
Your Landlord is taking excellent, loving care of your family. I hope you’re able to find a way to stay.
Oh hi fake Alexander, good to see you back on this old account and of course you're still pretending to be living in Costa Rica oh dear lmfao.
We're very hopeful all will get be back slowly but surely. Thank you for keeping us in the know of your situation. You look a bit more relieved now, Mary Jane's arrival definitely helped. Story has grown so much more! She is very brave, thanks to your love and affection, she's adapting to this awful mother nature blast. Love you guys AND Poppy!
Things are looking up! Stay safe, eight miles family!
I enjoyed this vlog today because I can hear joy in your laughter which means you've overcome the storm! That's great 8MFH!💜💜💜
Pinoys around the globe are eagerly tuning and waiting for your videos coz thru them we connect to the people of siargao.&
This is how we help.
Without Asking For Replacement.
Proud to be a Filipino 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Your happiness makes my heart glad. I love you guys. You will rebound much stronger and better. Blessings always! ♥️🇦🇬
It is amazing to know how Batanes people can cope with frquent strong storms in their islands. Their houses are made of stone but the roof I think are made of very thick nipa .. maybe .. not sure what is the exact material for their roofs.
Love watching you, guys! Your positivity is quite contagious even on this dreary days! Thanks for not abandoning the islands!
Im so happy to see your family smiling again after the typhoon❤️❤️. Thats filipino resilience means. God bless..
Good to find you all are well there and the coconut started to grow their leaves.
Siargao is paradise !! 🏝☀🌊
Bamboo trees are what they need to plant
And use it some day
good resource for indoor and outdoor as fence, door, bence, couch, display cabinet, school projects and many more you could built or use it for. Same with those coconut trees that are toppled.
maybe a vegetable garden. Kamote (sweet potato) grows fast although the tubers grow slow but you at least have some greens and you can turn it into a juice/tea by boiling the fresh leaves
Have a stock of plywoods for your windows just in case another storm arrives. Everybody loves you, J, S n S. Stay safe and happy.
It's nice to see you all smiling and looking forward to help rebuild the communtiy there. Thank you.
I love how the family loves Puppy!
keep safe 8 miles,Siargoa will rise again hello to papang,popping stay safe love you guys 😍😍
THAT IS A FILIPINO HEART,BAYANIHAN WE GROW TOGETHER AND HELP EACH OTHER. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE.
Amazing to see them still smiling after all what they have had experienced and still experiencing.
Learning like the Filipinos.
Woww creatures very nice. Hello baby pretty girl. God bless you all. Poppy very happy too
I had planned to visit Siargao for rest and recreation, in January, but that’s not to be so anymore. Or maybe I will once the hotels are up and running, and when non essential travel is allowed again. Maybe I’ll say hi to the Eight Milers! Keep safe everyone in Siargao!!!
Papang might want to entertain the idea of diversifying the crops that he will grow in lieu of coconuts. Aside from bananas, he might want to allocate a few acres to short-term crops those that can be harvested in 45-60 days. Many vegetable varieties are in this category. He just has to match which vegetable is compatible with the kind of soil in his farm. Having produce in such a short time is a good psychological boost for everyone.
Yeah good idea J and Sachca should start a vegetable garden to be more self sufficient in troubled times.
So glad to see you recovering from that trumatic experience you will tern more about nature and life story will grow with love and values..God Bless Siargao and the people of Siargao! Keep safe
Thanks for not leaving siargao island 🙏🙏😍😍 this place so amazing to stay forever. Stay safe guys best regards...
It's going to take time, but you've already made such amazing progress. I really enjoy seeing how you interact with the locals; just shows you what a cooperative bunch you all are. P.S Poppy is so cute and she clearly loves her human family. Sending abundance from Portugal.
Finish watching 8MFH vlog, I'm happy to see everyone on happy mood including puppy and Papang Family... I'm glad to say with laughter that i watched all 4 longest commercial without skipping... That's okay for Love of Story... Stay safe & Healthy 8MFH families around the world 🇵🇭✌️❤️👍
Yes me too no skipping
Seeing this beautiful family feeling "normal" and happy makes us all happy too. I'm glad that things are getting better slowly but surely.
I know it's easier said than done but maybe the island should start building sturdier homes like brick homes or at least cemented walls instead of wood. I know the costs is a lot more but if you have to go against typhoons like these it may just be worth it. Maybe the island should upgrade.
First of all, we love supporting your channel and the love/admiration you have for the Filipino people. I just hope that you've learned from the traumatic/devastating events you've experienced. A typhoon does not come out of nowhere like an earthquake (you do know that Philippines is prone to that too, right?)...it gives you an ample amount of time to prepare for it. Using a whole sheet of plywood to cover all the windows(using screws...not nails) will provide protection. Storing canned goods/drinking water as soon as a typhoon is predicted to hit the islands is a must (Invest on a generator). Purchase a few tie down straps to secure your water tank. BTW typhoon season goes on for a few months, so don't be surprised if another one comes your way. Anyway, more power to your family for sticking around and helping re-build.
I'm so happy everybody back again..started fixing the mess of typhoon Odette.. devastated everybody move on and started fixed their property..God will secure your Life now and keeping Safe..to God be the Glory.. God bless you always Amen And Amen 🙏🏾
Being so optimistic helps a lot to rebuild again siargao and your family are gonna part of this. You inspired us. We cant wait for more vlogs. Love u all & god blessed all of you.
The idea of bananas is wonderful! Many prayers and good thoughts for your family.
