I just hope we find her so we can give her a decent burial,” he said.The barangay also continues to search for two infants aged two and four months old.Retrieval operations continue spearheaded by different agencies of the government.“We found animals, yesterday a person. That is why we keep on continuing,” said barangay kagawad Monina Bataluna.The death toll count climbed to 124, with most deaths logged in Liloan and Compostela.Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro expressed anger at the situation.“I’m furious at what is happening to Cebu that is why when the President comes over, we will talk about this because we share the same sentiment,” said the governor.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to arrive in Cebu Friday to visit flood-stricken areas.Meanwhile, others also lost their livelihood in the flood, such as the Benida family in Barangay Dapdap, Compostela.Family members wailed when they saw that their hogs could not get out of their pigsty.The local government unit continues to assess the extent of the damage.“We have reports of how many thousand heads of pigs, thousand heads of chicken. may poultry tayo, kalabaw baka. nagcoconsolidate ngayon ang municipal agriculturist,” said Joel Durante, municipal administrator of Compostela.
