Air Force officer
recounts 6-hour ordeal
at sea with young boy
at height of ‘Yolanda’

“Don’t
sleep!! Look, we are near land
already!” an Air Force officer
said to a seven-year old child
as they battled with storm
surges that brought their bodies to sea at the onslaught
of monster typhoon
“Yolanda” (international name
Haiyan).

Yolanda, one of the strongest
typhoons recorded in history,
was at its peak strength on
Friday when Air Force
Lieutenant Colonel Fermin
Carangan, commanding officer of Tactical Operations Group 8,
a unit of the Philippine Air
Force providing air support in
Samar and Leyte based in
Tacloban, was swallowed by
storm surges when he saw the little boy named Miguel. A few hours before, when
strong winds by Yolanda were
starting to be felt, the troops
already geared up for possible
rescue missions. Rains started
to pour at around 7a.m. Carangan took shelter in the
office but the waters have
already entered the building. Waters rose that they had to
destroy the ceiling. He was the
last to get up. The building
collapsed and he witnessed his
men fall into the high water
and very strong winds. He was able to cling to a piece of wood
as he was taken by the waves
and current. He saw his men, including two
officers who are fresh
graduates, got washed away
by the waves. Carangan then
was swept towards the sea. “I was going farther and
farther out into the sea and all
I saw were tips of coconut
tees disappearing into the
rising water. Suddenly, I saw a
child wrapping his arms to a floating coconut tree. By a
stroke of luck, the waves led
me to the child,” Carangan said
as quoted by Army’s 8th
Infantry Division deputy chief
of staff for Training Lieutenant Colonel Allan Jose Taguba. Both the 8th Infantry Division
and the Tactical Operations
Group are under the control of
Armed Forces Central
Command in Visayas region.
Taguba posted Carangan’s narration on Facebook. “The little boy also held to the
piece of wood I was holding
on to. We floated where our
bodies took us,” he said. When they reached the sea,
Carangan said they went
through “another hell.” “We were slammed by waves
—huge waves from all
directions. We were also toyed
by whipping winds. We drank
a lot of salt seawater. I was
getting so tired,” he also said. “Too young to die,” he thought
to himself as he looked at the
little boy. His thoughts also led to his
family: “I prayed to God to
take care of my wife and kids.
I thought I’ve done to them
what every father could —
that is, to take good care of them,” he said. And being the officer that he
was, he also thought of his
men under his command. “Days before, I had told them
to ensure the safety of their
families, especially those in
Tacloban since it could be hit
hard and we would be busy
with the rescue missions. They might not have time to check
on their families during the
rescue,” he said. “I thought of the two new
graduates of [Philippine
Military Academy] 2013. I
thought that if something
happened to me, at least I had
been able to give professional and honorable service for a
time. And that I’ve done
enough since graduation.
These two young guys were
just starting and still have a
very bright future ahead,” Carangan said. Unfortunately, the two
officers, whose names have
yet to be released, were killed
from the typhoon as per
military reports. By that time, the little boy
Miguel was shivering from the
cold. “He told me, ‘Kuya, I will sleep
now. I’m so tired already,”
Carangan said. “Don’t sleep! Look, we are near
land already!” he shouted at
the boy’s ears. To encourage the boy, he
pointed to what he thought
was a wave that seemed like
a wall. To his surprise, they
have indeed reached the
shoreline. “Maybe he’s the reason I’m still
alive because God wants to me
to make sure this child will
live,” the Air Force officer said
of Miguel. Both were rescued along the
shorelines of Basey in Samar at
around 1p.m. on that same
day. They floated for six hours
until they were rescued,
Taguba said. “I’m not posting this to let
everyone know I or we in this
part of Visayas survived the
strongest of winds. But by
accounts of those who have
experienced the worst of Yolanda, a prayer could help
ease the suffering. I’m posting
to ask just that — your
prayers,” Taguba said. Carangan is now recovering at
a military hospital in Metro
Manila.

After Haiyan: 10 things Filipinos shouldn't be doing on social networks

The category 5 tropical cyclone Haiyan (Yolanda) has come and gone, leaving entire communities decimated in its wake. Meanwhile, there are several things Filipinos shouldn’t be doing on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

Don’t say people in the Visayas region deserve it. It is not your place to judge whether or not a community deserves a projected death toll of 10,000, including innocent children. That is, unless you think you can read God’s mind.

Don’t keep posting food photos. People in areas hit by Typhoon Haiyan are actually desperate for water and food. It’s not that posting yummy photos of food is illegal; it just might get your teeth kicked in by your Facebook friends, especially those whose relatives are still missing.

Don’t say, “The survivors should be thankful.” It’s like telling a mother who lost her son, “At least you still have two other children” or something equally insensitive.

Don’t say, “The Philippines deserves the privilege of experiencing a strong typhoon because they’re a strong nation.” How would you feel if someone said, “Your family deserves the privilege of experiencing tragedy because you are a strong bunch”? Yeah, I thought so.

Don’t say, “It’s okay, the Philippines will be fine.” Filipinos are resilient. But shrugging off the devastation like it’s just a mosquito bite is tantamount to undermining the loss of life and property.

Don’t brag about your expensive brand new gadget. Congratulations; you have a new toy – but celebrating your wealth during a calamity makes you look like a jerk.

Don’t say you have nothing to donate. Yes, you do. You have at least one piece of clothing you haven’t worn in a year. You have spare change for at least one bottle of water. After all, you have the budget for an Internet-ready gadget.

Don’t stop at giving to charity. Did making a donation make you feel better? Good for you! But charity isn’t for your sake; it’s for the sake of people who need it. Charity comes with a measure of responsibility. Make sure your donation actually makes it to the typhoon-ravaged areas – that is, if you genuinely care.

Don’t keep posting selfies. Your friends know you’re pretty. Even your friend’s cousin’s best friend’s driver knows you’re pretty. But your face shouldn’t hog the limelight while worried relatives post pictures of the family members they can’t contact up to now.

Lastly, don’t miss out on the chance to do something useful with your social networks. Get your friends to donate – and ask them to do so responsibly. Spread the word about the tragedy in the Philippines. Let your Twitter profile be a beacon of hope. Join the campaign to ask Philippine TV to cover the tragedy instead of just airing variety shows.
