I am getting frustrated with the lack of information about the survivors. I scour the internet for hours hoping there would be an updated list. Sulpicio Lines website's list was not updated at all, still @ 32.
I was hoping that my Mom's first cousin and Cebu Port Captain for Sulpicio Lines would be able to provide us with information but it seems like Uncle Bondjing had limited info as well. And I'm sure he's got his hands full right now coordinating and managing things. Jay is his nephew as well.
I really worried about Jay. I spoke to my Aunt this morning and apparently she was able to talk to Jay briefly when the ship was already aground. Auntie Juvy received a text message from Jay asking for prayers due to their very dangerous condition. Auntie Juvy called his cellphone to confirm it was indeed Jay.
Auntie apparently passed the phone to Jay's son who then told him to be brave and not to be scared because he still wants his tatay to bring his toys back in Cebu. And the phone went dead.
I really hope and pray that they are just in a remote area, safe and sound. Sometimes a scenario plays in my head that he might have not made it into the water because he's trying to save other passengers. I know my cousin, he's a very kind and responsible person. And being the ship' third in command I know he's got some serious responsibilities.
But despite all this, I am not losing hope. Miracles do happen and God is good.
