Ang Misteryoso nga Barko


Naka dungog mo adtong istorya sa mga Sendong survivors about sa barko?


While some Iliganons, mostly not directly affected by the storm simply take the rumours as rubbish.


The survivors themselves are adamant that they saw it with their eyes, some of the survivors heard the siren.


Below is the photo of the mysterious boat. I got this from Art Babao Believes on Facebook.












Baby Agapay
She and her family used to live in Duranta, Sta. Filomina. She and her son saw the mysterious boat approaching, the son waved at the boat using the flashlight. As the boat approaches, it gradually disappeared right before his eyes.



Aileen Acosta and Herald Gerona
This couple is my batchmate back in highschool in DHS (IDS). They live in Gerona compound in Tambo, in my estimation is about 500 meters away from Mandulog river.


Both of them heard the boat’s siren during that fateful night. Herald, who climbed on a tree inside the compound, saw the silhouette of people inside the boat at a distance. He was delighted that a rescue boat was quick to respond.


Erlinda Torres’ husband
I interviewed Erlinda Torres in January at Sta. Filomina evac center. Her husband was not around during the interview. She said her husband saw the mysterious boat, “huge ship surrounded with lights”. She said, he closed his eyes and when he opened it, the ship was no longer there.


Some kid
I was in Tambo Terminal evacuation center, when I heard a woman whose nephew of about 10 years old saw the boat. I forgot to asked his name though.

Unsa may gibuhat sa barko ug sa mga tawo nga sakay sa barko? Wala man gi mention nga gi save sila.. basta ni vanish lang daw ang boat.

During the recent major tsunami ni Japan.. diha pud giingon nga nakita nga mysterious shadow pud.

In Greek beliefs, Charon the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the underworld rides a small boat.
This same myth about a deathboat also appears on several old seamen stories who abandoned shipwrecks, the boat usually appears hours before their deaths. The men died of either drowning or hypothermia.

There were a handful of survivors whom i personally have spoken with swear they really saw the boat and it's still vivid in their memory. I myself find it impossible. The logic i'm following is that many survivors (probably in the hundreds) were able to climb tall houses, towers, and buildings especially along the mandulog river, yet they never saw that boat/ship. Considering that the alleged "ship" was "full of lights".

Could it be a temporary state of mind when a person is in severe distress?
