The Search and recovery Operations of buried landslide victims caused by the quake in Negros Oriental has been stopped about a week ago by Government Authorities. Although 39 more victims are still not recovered, the decision to halt operations was due to the bad weather conditions in the area. The impossibility of finding anymore victims due to the massive amount of soil and mud that buried them also prompted the authorities to stop the search.
The locals were heartbroken at the decision but they had to face the reality that finding their buried loved ones is truly impossible. Though the locals vowed to continue searching for their missing relatives the Government had to pull out the Search and Recovery Teams and promised the residents that the local administration will construct a marker to honor the dead and the missing.
We all know the pain and sorrow that these people are feeling, each one of us have lost a loved one at least once in our lifetime but the Government is right in pulling out the search teams. Many areas that were also damaged by the quake also need the help of those teams. The soldiers and volunteers also need all the rest that they can get before they are again deployed to assist in the rebuilding of the damaged areas.
It's the harsh actuality of life but we must move on and try our best to live our lives again. I extend my condolences to all the bereaved families. May God help us all in these difficult and trying times......
