Princess, 29, from Talisay, Batangas has been without her husband Jerry, 34, for many days since Taal’s eruption.

Princess recalls that as they evacuated with the volcano’s eruption, her husband decided to seek a job in a nearby town. This after losing his livelihood with the volcano’s continuous unrest so he can continue to support their three children Brianna Jane, 8, Blain Jacob, 5, and Bianca Jade, 2.

Now without her husband to tend to their kids in an evacuation center for more than a week, she anxiously waits for better days even as she is unsure when she’ll see her husband again.

Princess also weeps at the thought of not having anything to go back to if and when the state of the volcano eases.

“Natabunan na ng makapal na abo yung bahay namin. Sira na ho ito. Minarapat naming umalis agad dahil delikado na noong magpatuloy na tumira doon,” Princess recalls.

Now temporarily residing in an evacuation center in Calaca town, Princess and her kids wait for their reunion with his husband and father to her kids.

Her face also brightens as she mentions how thankful she is that her family were unharmed and that though they lost their house and other possessions along the way, the important thing is that they are all safe.

“Nagpapasalamat ako at mayroon kaming pansamantalang tinitirhan pati na rin sa tulong na patuloy na ibinibigay ng iba’t-ibang ahensya ng gobyerno at ng iba pang magaganda ang loob para punan ang mga pangunahin naming pangangailangan dito,” Princess says.

Princess shows the courage of a Filipino as she vows that they will again rise after this calamity and that she, along with her husband, will do their best to provide a brighter future for their kids.

“Kalamidad lang ito. Ang mga nawala sa amin ay mapapalitan. Mabubuo muli ang aming pamilya, babangon muli kami,” Princess ends. ###
