On the 3rd day after the earthquake had struck in our province, many organizations and private individuals went to Northern Cebu to donate relief goods to the earthquake victims. In fact, it caused heavy traffic since people from the city and other places went to Northern Cebu. Before it took 3 to 4 hours to travel by bus but now it takes 11 hours. Despite that situation all travellers were happy and passengers were patient since they all knew that almost all vehicles were loaded with relief goods.

Since our home is not on the highway, we also went along the road so that we could receive donations of relief goods. Together with my sister we stayed on the highway day and night since it was also a place for us because if we stayed near our house there were aftershocks and sometimes the aftershocks were 4.9 magnitude. We already had a trauma because my house might sound like it will collapse. While on the roads we were busy and we felt happy when we could receive donations of any kind.
We are very happy with the help extended to Northern Cebu from all the organizations, private individuals, and Governance Organizations nationwide and all over the world. Extended to Northern Cebu. We felt overwhelmed by their generosity, kindness, and love extended to the people of Northern Cebu. Despite the painful experience from this calamity we felt that we were not alone, we found hope, love, and strength because of the help and care extended to all of us.
From this calamity, I realized that all people in this world are equal no poor, no rich. We must be content with what we have a value the importance of family and show love and care towards our fellowmen.
