One of them even checked on the wedding ring of a dead woman that the soldiers had pulled out from the earth.


I noticed some of the rescuers at the site that day carried no equipment or tools, such as shovels, ropes and even a good ax to cut branches. I even overheard a soldier murmuring that some of these people (rescuers) were just there to be photographed by newsmen.

The Saint Bernard coverage was my very first out-of-town assignment, and my first time in Southern Leyte. It was my first time to be in a tragedy of such magnitude and, most of all, my first time to be away from my wife and two kids for several days.
