Siniguro namin na para makauwi kami ng safe sa Bulan, hinintay namin na umalis siya,&quot; Glee shared. </p><p>When they heard about the upcoming storm, she said they did not want to experience what they went through during Severe Tropical Storm Carina again. </p><p>&quot;Nung pumunta kami dito, baha doon sa dinaanan namin. Nastranded kami ng 11 hours doon sa parte ng Naga, sa Maharlika [Highway] ma&#x27;am… Talagang gusto namin makapunta dahil kasal ng anak ko,&quot; Glee said. </p><p>Even bus dispatchers noted there were fewer passengers traveling to and from Manila and Bicol compared to previous years, possibly due to the storm. </p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/11/2/mga-biktima-umano-ng-ejk-inalala-ngayong-undas-1742" id="isPasted">Mga biktima umano ng EJK inalala ngayong Undas </a> </div><p>&quot;Nagmomonitor kami yung galing Bicol.
