    Ignacio Josue's Memories of the Invasion of Leyte – Samar

    Ignacio Josue’s Memories of the invasion of Leyte – Samar Tacloban Oct 24 – Oct 31 – Nov 9 1944 1. Arrive Leyte Bay Oct 24,1944 (D+4). Plenty of Jap air activity. One dived into a LST (Landing Ship Tank) making a huge fire. A Jap bomber tried to bomb and strafe a Liberty ship, was hit and dove straight down in the bay. 2. While we were trying to land on Oct 25 (D+5), 3 Jap bombers (Betty’s) came flying parallel to and left of our LST 552. Our gunners opened up putting the last plane in flames. The second plane swerved up and then down for us, letting go of its bombs and strafing us. I was OD (Officer of the Deck) and at the bridge with Captain Jenkins. I dove down to the floor with the Captain on top of me. I felt a stinging sensation on my left ankle. One of the bombs hit us amidships on the left side shaking the boat considerably. The other bomb missed us on the right side by not more than 5 yards, throwing up a spout of water which practically drenched us in the bridge. When we got up, there was fire on the spot where the bomb had hit. There was some confusion as the water system did not work for a while. As I watched, I saw Lieutenant Blankenship trying to fan out with his shirt or coat the flames coming out of a burning truck. I thought for a while he had gone crazy, but I was later informed that he was trying to save a man underneath the truck then in flames.

    Social Capital and Facebook Use of Tacloban City After Super Typhoon Haiyan

    SOCIAL CAPITAL AND FACEBOOK USE OF TACLOBAN CITY AFTER SUPER TYPHOON HAIYAN Arla E. Fontamillas A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Development Studies Victoria University of Wellington March 2015 ABSTRACT This case study examined the extent to which social media can help build and strengthen the social capital of communities in the face of natural disasters. It investigated Tacloban City, an area hit hardest by Super Typhoon Haiyan on 08 November 2013. Haiyan is considered as the most powerful tropical cyclone in recorded human history. With the vast international attention it received, it also highlighted the growing role of Facebook in facilitating and influencing disaster aid and response, particularly in a developing country such as the Philippines. Social capital describes how networks and resources within the community are made available to people through their connections with others. This concept is gaining popularity because of the increasing role of social media during disasters. While its effects on the behaviour of people in disasters are generally perceived to be useful, few studies have actually examined how social media changes the way people mobilise themselves in a disaster-stricken and politically tensed society. Separate interviews and focus group discussions among selected residents of two coastal communities (Barangays 89 and 48-B), selected members of two local NGOs (Community & Family Services International and Operation Blessing - Visayas), and three members of the city government (vice-mayor, urban and environmental consultant, and city councillor) revealed that Facebook extended the geography of the social capital of Tacloban City after Super Typhoon Haiyan.
