This is for the teacher trapped in the classroom buried by a mudslide in St, Bernard, Southern Leyte, who sent a text message to her principal, asking for help
 

You are with your pupils in the classroom. You were patiently teaching them ABC and 123. Or maybe you were singing happy songs – songs that tell of joys of living. Joys of living in a beautiful world where hope springs eternal, specially for young, innocent children.

Then suddenly, there is a great sound coming from the mountain. Then total darkness. I looked like the entire mountain has caved in and it covered it covered the classroom. You are the only adult in the classroom. Children started to cry. They grope in darkness. They wail for their mothers. You yourself feel very frightened. But you have to be strong for the sake of your young wards. You try to comfort them all. You tell them everything will be alright. But you cannot hold them all in your arms.

Other children, with their teachers, are in the other room, but you cannot communicate with them.  You send a text message to your superior telling her you are trapped in your classroom with the children. It’s a good thing the message was sent, that there’s cellular phone signal, despite the tons of mud covering the schoolhouse.

You just sit down with the children, You tell them to pray. You pray like you never did before…for help to arrive before the oxygen in your classroom runs out.

You are still trap there. Maybe you could not response anymore because you don’t have load. Please, stay strong. Help could get to you in time. And pray. Please pray.

Rescuers have found the site where the school was located. They are digging the school out. Please wait for them.
