July 21, 2010 by cd · 4 Comments
There are many ways to celebrate love in cool and romantic Baquio City, but none that is as unforgettable as the way Sonia Roco did two decades ago.
Trapped under a pile of rubble after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the Summer Capital of the Philippines, the widow of former Senator Raul Roco held on to dear life just thinking about her husband and family.
Roco was in Nevada Hotel in Baguio for a seminar when a killer earthquake struck parts of the country in 1990 and destroyed roads and buildings, including the one that she was in. For 36 hours, she was trapped without food and saw fellows victims die one-by-one in front of her eyes.
Join Ces Drilon-Oreña in revisiting another story of courage, hope, and strength in the middle of danger this Thursday (July 22) on “I Survived,” after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN.

Seaman’s Fight for Life Tonight on ‘I Survived’
May 20, 2010 by cd · 2 Comments
It was a scene straight from the movies. Seaman Leo Hernandez was on his daily routine, cleaning the tubes in the ship where he worked when suddenly a burst of sulfuric acid hit him from the back.
The acid easily bore a hole on his shirt and hurt his eyes while the pressure sent him falling down eight feet to the ship’s flooring. He could have easily died from the fall and the chemical burns. But Hernandez survived.
This Thursday (May 20) on “I Survived,” Hernandez reopens the wounds of his near-death experience with Ces Oreña-Drilon.
Hurt in the middle of the sea, Hernandez even had to wait for one and a half days before getting proper medical attention. It took him three whole years before fully recovering.
Find out how Hernandez escaped death and found the will to live again on “I Survived,” this Thursday (May 20) after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN. Stay updated on other ABS-CBN programs by visiting http://teamkapamilya.multiply.com or following abscbndotcom on Twitter.
