A Beirut-based overseas Filipina worker managed to capture scenes on the ground following the huge blast that leveled several areas in the capital of Lebanon, killing 78 and injuring over 4,000 other individuals.
Erma Flores shared that she was in shock upon seeing the face of the calamity with shattered glass on the roads and collapsed buildings before her.
“Sobrang dilim, nakakanerbyos. Hindi mo alam kung saan ka lulusot o dadaan, lahat ng matapakan mo salamin. Lahat ng building nagcolapse, basag, grabe nakakatakot,” said Flores.
