A couple named Henry and Nora Silvano shared with ABS-CBN News the unforgettable experience caused by the volcanic eruption.
“Talagang parang ang Pinatubo ang nakikita ko doon sa Taal na ‘yan,” Henry said.
“Ang hirap talaga ng nangyari noon,” Nora added.
Meanwhile, Pampanga Governor Dennis Padilla, who was once a victim of the catastrophic incident, has stated the heartwarming experience after Good Samaritans helped them 29 years ago.
“We Kapampangans are paying back. Noon pong pumutok ang bulkang Pinatubo, marami po ang tumulong sa amin para iligtas kami at makabangon. Ito hong pagtulong ay pasasalamat namin,” Pineda said.
