Rhea Manila Santos

<p>With his band Parokya ni Edgar scheduled to perform in a concert at the Sorsogon Sports Arena last October 21, vocalist Chito Miranda and his group were still out of town when typhoon Kristine hit the country last week. The storm ended up damaging and flooding major cities which also resulted in many flights getting cancelled, delaying the band’s return to Manila. After getting back to his family and their home in Tagaytay last October 25, Chito shared just how thankful he was.</p><p>In a recent social media post, he wrote: “After being stranded for days in Sorsogon, after attempting to land thrice in Manila, and being temporarily redirected to Kalibo, and after being stuck sa SLEX for more than 4hrs dahil sa baha, sa wakas, bahay na ko.😁👍🏼 Thank You, Lord, for keeping us safe and healthy, and for bringing us back home safely to our families.❤️ You Da Best. “</p><p>He also made sure to credit the kind people who made his safe trip home happen.</p><p>“Salamat sa family na kumupkop at nag-alaga sa amin sa Sorsogon (maraming salamat po),” he continued. “‘Salamat sa Captain at sa Crew ng flight namin for making sure that everyone was safe and comfortable during the 45min flight na naging 5hrs.✌🏼😅 (at sa nagpahiram sa akin ng powerbank para ma-update ko si Neri) Salamat sa mga kabanda ko, at sa TopBeat Crew at Soundcheckers for making everything feel like an adventure.🤟🏼😁 Salamat din sa mga nanood sa gig namin nung Monday kahit bumabagyo...sana safe and healthy kayo lahat.😔🙏🏼❤️ Sobrang saya ko talaga na nasa bahay na ko kasama ng pamilya ko ❤️ Goodnight.”</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBg9pZzhai1/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% -
