I have forgotten that you live in Cebu and therefore, might have been affected by the typhoon. I'm so sorry to hear about what happened Arni but I'm happy that you and your family are safe. I know it's hard to see your possessions getting destroyed that you have no other choice but to let them go, but I admire your grace in accepting what is.
I was in Siargao when the typhoon happened and so I'm also one of its "survivors." So I can definitely relate to the stress of not being able to do something as simple as letting your loved ones know how you are doing because there was no signal. However, I know that my experience, no matter how distressing it was for me, is nothing compared to what the locals/residents have gone through. And so I will keep you in my prayers, that you will get through this the soonest. Do reach out to me if you need someone to talk to.
