Still a gray, rain-threatening day. The news--more bodies found in Cagayan De Oro, who perished in the rampaging flood waters. Body count has risen to 1, 1200. They are still looking for bodies; officials said they would be terminating the search after three days.
Sad Christmas day for the victims in the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro. The flash floods have been blamed on illegal and legal logging. Most of the dead were migrants who built their houses in sandbars and along waterways.
In Santiago, for Christoffer's checkup at Callang Medical Center on his headache which has bothered him for the past four days. A Dr. Butuyan gave him a prescription for P300 consultation. Mama and I saw him off at Mabini for his trip to Tuguegarao. His wedding with Tintin Baui will be in Tuguegarao on the 28th of this month.
Mart 1, for slack to match barong tagalog, but no size 32. Purchased a camisa de chino (Small size). I was looking for medium but saleslady said S is big (for Filipinos, the brand is Walker) and red slippers costing more than P300 for both.
Left Mama in Santiago, who would be purchasing another pant and coloring dye.
The passenger van on which I rode passed by a group of people gathering around a man on the ground, crumpled, with his motor cycle nearby. Did he lose control or was he bumped by an oncoming vehicle? Accidents in which people died have been a regular occurrence in that area of Burgos village, two kilometers away from Oscariz.
