More good news. The house is good! It's roof is still on it. Phew! I guess it will need some minor repairs, but at least that will cost less. It also means we can help other family members a bit more. We still can't contact them directly using mobile/cell phones or the internet, so the info is being passed on to us by my wife's friend from Iloilo. We are so grateful. It is usually about a 4 hour, or more, trip from Iloilo to Casanayan.

We have also found out that the roads between Cassanayan to Roxas City (some 60 kilometres away) has not been cleared yet, so there is no transport to and from Roxas. Going to Iloilo is a long way (137 kilometres) to go to get food and water. But at least they can do that.

I have a brother-in-law who lives about half way between Casanayan and Iloilo, so hopefully we will soon hear how he and his family are. The rest of my wife's siblings all live in Casanayan.

Sadly, we are still waiting for news from Binon-An, and that's still got us worried.
