Stranded tourists want out of Siargao ThisIsOurMindanao
This world-famous destination is now a nightmare for local and foreign tourists stranded because of super typhoon ‘Odette.’ They all want out, and quick, as there is no electricity, no internet and phone connection, and not enough water and food.
“We have been here for two days already in the airport, but we got no word yet from the airport authorities or from local officials,” said a foreigner at the Sayak Airport here. Juan says he understands the situation. “We have also to understand that they are bringing in relief goods for the people suffering,” said Juan who opened his restobar, El Lobo, a few weeks ago in General Luna town. The restobar was severely damaged.Stranded tourists wait at the airport in Siargao, Surigao del Norte, for a flight that would take them out of the island battered by super typhoon ‘Odette.’ MindaNews photo by ROEL N.
