Improvised Raft Carrying Baby’s Coffin Through Floodwaters Touches Many Hearts
An improvised raft used to carry a small coffin of a deceased baby through deep floodwaters in Pampanga touches many hearts online.
Recently, Rialyn Serrano, a Facebook user, shared a video of a makeshift raft carefully carrying the small coffin across the floodwaters. The post quickly circulated on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
Flooding has remained a serious problem in several parts of Pampanga in recent weeks. Continuous rains brought by recent weather disturbances and the southwest monsoon have left many communities underwater, forcing residents to adapt to challenging conditions.
Some families have been displaced, while others continue to find ways to carry out daily activities despite the high-water levels.
One family finds another way to move the baby’s coffin due to the flooded roads. For them, the journey was not only a matter of transportation but also a final act of love and respect. Even amid difficult circumstances, they remained determined to give the child a proper farewell.
The tear-jerking video has touched the hearts of many Filipinos and emphasized the hardships faced by flood-hit communities. It also showed the resilience of families who continue to endure challenges while honoring their loved ones during times of loss and grief.
Here is the full post:
“Sa lahat ng nakita kong sitwasyon sa baha, ito na ang pinakamasakit. Sobrang sakit nito bilang isang ina. Sa gitna ng baha, may isang pamilyang ang tanging hangad ay maiuwi nang maayos ang kanilang mahal sa buhay. Lord, give them comfort.“
