It’s hard to write a headline for such a tragically surreal situation.
Amid the clearing operations of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in the vicinity of the pier in Tacloban City, they were shocked by the sight of a woman and her two kids using a damaged refrigerator as a “boat.”
Apparently, the woman wanted to go to Cebu and was so desperate that she thought of using the wrecked refrigerator to do it, reports ABS-CBN News correspondent Jeff Canoy.
According to the MMDA personnel, they had to forcibly stop the woman from pulling the dangerous stunt. They first got hold of her kids and then they stopped her from swimming away. The MMDA folks later brought her and her kids to an evacuation site.
