Floating Survivors of Sendong Rescued

My tears fell down watching this video of the actual rescue operation with the victims of typhoon Sendong in Iligan Bay, Iligan City. Cannot contain the pain in my heart watching these young children who stayed very long in the water throughout the night the fact that they do not know how to swim.
I have this feeling that if these tragedy occurred to me, I would have died right away---It was good thing that these rescued individuals lived in Bayug Island, which is in the shore line of Iligan Bay. They were not hit by those huge logs.
I admire the humor that the rescuer cracked just to calm the victims.
