- The earthquake caused significant damage to Isuga's family home and the General Santos City airport, leading to the cancellation of his flight.
Dahil time po na nangyari po yung sakuna, automatically nawalan po kami ng kuryente namin, wala na po kaming internet. So I don't know kung may flight advisory ba na na-cancel yung flight ko... so naisipan ko po na pumunta po talaga sa airport kaagad. Nung pagpunta ko doon, damaged din po pala yung airport namin. So whether I like it or not, na mag-flight that day, so wala po akong magagawa.NSW-based Aged Care Worker Dan Isuga
