Please consider and take note that the body of the Coconut Trees can be use for furniture making, or even as temporary house foundation. The leaves for makeshift roof and handicraft, the juice of the Coconut fruit as water quencher, coconut meat eaten as is or cooked to get coconut oil, the shell of the fruit as cups or saucer or charcoal. Stay safe.
And coconut flowers can be used as a medicine, for example diabetes. But who exactly is going to process those fallen coconut trees into all those items? Doing all that would be a 3rd full time job for them.
Don’t worry, help is coming! A group of friends here in NYC have donated to help Pilar specifically. Will be sending a family member from Surigao to hand the relief goods personally. My cousin and his friends who are physicians are already volunteering in the community hospital as well. Don’t lose hope, there are still plenty of generous and compassionate people in the world. The Filipinos are great company in times of disasters, they are very resilient people, they always have a smile and a helping hand even in the most darkest and difficult times. My prayers to the family and the entire Filipino people who are affected with this super typhoon. Remember, God is always with you, which is the truest meaning of Christmas!
God bless your generous kind hearts! Thank you so much for extending your help to our fellow kababayans in the hardest hit areas. Bayanihan at its finest! Filipinos are no stranger to hardships but with prayer, hope and perseverance, we shall be back on our feet again. LABAN LANG!
I am in Phoenix, Arizona unable to get back to my wife,(suffering with Dengue Fever), and children on Baguio City, PI. It has been painful not to be there to protect them. I am praying for you all! I am anxious to return to my precious family and beloved Filipino friends whom we love so much!
Lots of vit d from the sunshine ,fresh air from the sea,organic food in the island,simple life,kindness to people/environment.Those make them beautiful beings.
A big abraço (hug) from brazilian people to our brothers in Siargao and The Philippines! A step climbed after each day , as you can see! Our thoughts and prayers!
Story is such a remarkable example of how we should handle adversities - keeping the positivity no matter what. And you J and Sacha are a commendable force as well for thinking of being there to rebuild, instead of leaving everything behind and start anew. May God bless you and all the people who have been affected by the typhoon. You have been in our thoughts and was so happy to see you all safe. Keep the faith. And yes, not skipping ads as well no matter how many
We are with you Jay, not physically but in spirit and in heart from here in New Zealand. Hang in there Jay, you can do this. You are the leader, show by your actions, that you are in charge and know what to do. Sacha will respect and support you. As an old soldier, this is what i would do. One thing at a time, you already did this by attending to the windows on your home. I say again, you can do this, Jay. Bob. (81) Veteran. New Zealand.
I am sorry Bob to say this, but I believe Jay does not think of him a leader or even want this. Jay, Sascha, Story and even Poppy are a team! They are warriors! Theay are all in this together and they are togther strong for each others! I know it is a mindset, but maybe you can change your mindset a little bit!? Anyway, thank you for your good words! Love to you Bob!!
@@Kikifriedmann My comment was mean't to be encouraging to Jay following the sadness he demonstrated earlier. As a man i was standing by Jay, 'man to man', thats what we do in times of trouble as we did in the Military. All for one, one for all. Thank you Katrin.
@Daddybob. I totally agree with you. No need to change your mindset as another one has suggested here. As a wife, I believe the man in the family is the leader and the other members are here to support him and be the leader’s team. He knows what he is doing and knows exactly what to do to protect his family and those around him. As a wife, I wouldn’t know what to do without my husband. Stay safe.
Good job Jay! I'm happy that you have assimilated well to the local community. It's not a coincidence that you've been there. You are a great help to those people who for sometime lost hope due to the typhoon onslaught. Offering your help/skill to the community makes this community alive again and optimistic. This can be a good legacy to be told to everyone, how the people of Siargao manage to survive against all the odds. And yes, maybe Story can tell this amazing story in the future.
First and foremost, I'm extremely proud of you for offering the shelter to your lady friend without question, the man is not measured by what he says, A man measured by his actions, it's little things sometimes without saying anything wrong the mean most, very proud of you hats off good man, but then again I already knew that, 💯💯💯
Hands down to Story. I bet she is the anchor of your family right now. Such a positive vibe coming out from her. She's gonna be a great person later on in her life!
This experience will make you even more stronger as a family. You will look back on this moment one day Story all grown up and thought you have survived this. You've seen the devastation all around you and saw it through, you can overcome anything after this. You will become reselient and more resourceful. More power to your family!
NO SKIPPING ADS, to help their family. Devastating seeing the damage, but very thankful you and your family weren't hurt. We're with you guys. Keep your head up! One day at a time.
Thank God you 3 are safe together with Poppy & Papang! Prayers for all of you! Glad to see Story is smiling & helping in her own way! She’s a very strong & smart kid. Thank God she was not traumatized at all! God bless you all!🙏🙏🙏
Story is like she's the light during the darkest hour... Story is doing her part by collecting those shattered glass Story is full of positive vibes aside from what happen... stay positive J...were all here for guyz always praying for you guyz...slowly you'll get back on normal
I can sense the trauma on J and sasha eyes if only i can give you guys a BIGHUG!! Stay Strong Guys!! Filipinos are strong mentally because we get hit every year by storms but the most important life and those are just materials things im just glad you guys are safe and IM SURE YOU CAN RECOVER FROM THIS AND BECOME MORE STRONGER AS A FAMILY!!
Sometimes things happen for a reason..your being strong and positive instead of expressing bitterment in the midst of this crucial situation adds more encouragement to the locals who are in the same boat...and changed their mindset for sure.. A light at the end of the tunnel.awaits.. Kodus to Story at her very young age she appreciates the value of nature and how to protect them ..the youngest environmentalist ever!...Her very lovable gesture and concern..good example to everybody to all out there!!Bravo!!Tight hugs..
Story is an inspiration for all kids & everyone in the way that she is able to cope with the devastation all around her as a little girl who experienced the horror of the super typhoon.Stay strong & stay safe Eight Miles From Home.Siargao can recover & would even turn the place around much better than before,just like the victims & the areas affected by Yolanda in 2013 that hit Tacloban ,where about 7,000 people died from the water surge & everything got flattened out from the very strong wind they haven't experienced before.Siargao will come back stronger & better as well, but would take sometime.
Storm surge is usually much more dangerous than the storm itself. These can be deeper than 20 ft in depth and kill thousands as you say. A big factor is luck- whether the storm hits at low tide or high tide. From what I saw in Bohol, we were at much less than high tide, which probably saved a lot from death or further damage.
@@aphilippinesadventure9184 exactly! People should never underestimate storm surges. But what really surprised me the most when we lived in the Philippines was that windows were not boarded up to prevent damage especially homes near coastal towns. We also lived in the Caribbean where hurricanes are frequent. People there boarded as protection even if they decided to evacuate.
@@Moss_piglets The Philippines is typhoon country! It would seem to be obvious, even if you are off the normal track as they are or in Bohol, on occasion, typhoons forget their original instructions and go where they will, with predictable results. The lack of OBVIOUS preparations is astounding and contributes greatly to the loss of life and destruction. Long before any typhoon, you have your plywood window covers fitted and tucked away for use. Trees can be removed to prevent their falling on houses or cars. If you are building new, the house can certainly be built to minimize storm impact. I am sure glad that these folks are ok and can rebuild over time, but the lack of interest in taking OBVIOUS precautions is amazing. As you know, when you see a hurricane coming to Florida, you see on TV these homes and businesses all boarded up. Bohol was hit pretty hard, and most of the undamaged buildings survived well for a reason. Our house is undamaged, with much destruction all around. It's a hard lesson but I hope it is well learned for their own good!
Jay, Sasha and Story believe it or not, when the community sees your working with them on the clean up, you guys are not only a calming influence but you uplift their spirit. Help is coming, President Duterte visited Sirgao and promised help of money, foods and other resources. Thanks for helping your community, believe me the people who’ve touched will never forget you guys. God bless you all and stay safe.
Day 2 after the storm and we can see that you are slowly getting better and not as traumatized as your earlier videos . We love you guys .....everything will be okay and let us be thankfull that you survived this calamity . It is getting better day by day , the worst has passed .
I had to crack up when Story said, “As you can see, the spoiler is gone!” I’m glad you guys are OK and I know it’s a long rod to recovery. Story’s commentaries on both your last videos really puts a perspective on things. Viewing it from her point of view, there is hope. One day at a time!
This experience has totally changed not only your surrounding but more significantly your entire existence and perspective of life. You are a stronger, braver, and more formidable family. We support you. You will come out of this tragedy better than ever.
We storm the heavens with our prayers for all who were affected by Odette. Hang on there..people around wud always be ready to lend a hand..we filipinos are..praying still..
Story has experienced so much as a young kid and always has a smile on her face. That's a good sign for when she grows up and has to overcome challenges. A positive attitude will get you through anything in life.
The Spirit of the Holidays is the act of giving without expecting anything in return. It's finding peace in the happiness of others, forgetting the self, and making connections with those around you. Love, generosity and goodness are the ideals we aspire to at this time of year.
Thank you for the update 8mfh. What you’ve experienced was devastating and frightening and thank God you are ok. Your positive reactions and actions to what just happened is inspiring. Story is inspiring. She is developing a resilient nature something that much of young people in the UK could learn. Well done you for a wonderful parenting. Well done Story. Keep smiling🤗I am sure Siargao will be rebuilt to what it was before or even better! Very hopeful! 😊
you are becoming filipinos, resilient in the face of adversity. ive prayed for you before the storm and am going to continue ntilyou get on your feet completely. no skipping ads.
Its situations like these that changes our perspective towards life and makes you appreciate the little things. Material wants become less of a priority to a person and basic neccesities (food, shelter, water etc) becomes more valuable. This is one of those moments where you feel most truly alive and happy knowing that your family is safe.
I am so happy that you guys are safe. Story you are such an amazing little girl, at an early age you have already shown resiliency amidst life's trials. I love your positivity. Big hugs to your family. God bless!
Hi J, Sascha and Story. I have been your avid viewer ever since. This is my first time to write a comment. Just like everyone else, my immediate thoughts were with you when the typhoon hit Siargao and I am glad that you are safe. I hope that you will not be discouraged by this disaster and instead see this as opportunity for you to rebuild and get back on your feet, and when that happens I will be very happy for your family. To this day, I continue to be amazed by by your actions and response to this disaster. Keep on going and I will continue to watch your journey. Know that there are people like me who watches from afar and see your family as inspiration.
I’m wondering why drains built into all the floors are not a requirement when building in tropical places like this for this reason. Glad your cars are running! I know you were worried about those especially since one was borrowed. I love to see you all working together and offering an empty home to those in need!
Thank you for sharing! We are snowed in with supplies and water and electricity. Internet is so nice! Love the happy girl cheering you all up! Love, peace and awareness!
Stay safe 8 miles family... when I watched your video during the typhoon and I heard you guys screaming and crying but still 3 of you calling poppy I do really felt how wonderful people you are. All I can do is cry in silent and pray, and now you still have time thanking your viewers for not skipping the adds. God bless you guys. Yes for the next few weeks everything will okay for sure.
I am so thankful you are all ok and glad you are finally able to publish some updates. I have been telling people about the storm and here in the US many are unaware. Praying for you all.
Hello Eight Miles Family! Stay strong. It's going to take a lot of time,a hard work and lot of money to fix the damages but you will get there. Please don't skip the ads .let help them out in every way we can. Sending prayers to you and the people of Siargao Island. I ✌
I salute how strong you guys are on moving forward after the typhoon. You are both great parents for showing your daughter how to handle difficult situations in life. Thank you for being strong and positive thinker.thank you for keeping poppy safe. A lot of your followers are very happy and relieved to see you are all safe.
It is a horrific experience for everybody in the island, but I can sense your optism, I can see your happiness, I can feel your strength, both you and Sasha are still glowing- strong souls, hardy islanders of Siargao. As always Stori is always happy, a light in the world.
Its lots of cleaning, clothes washing, drying stuff, fixing things but u will not get tired instead motivated and exited...next thing u know it was a lively experience it makes u stronger and more human and humble and wiser...
Hang in there. My relatives are struggling on Mactan Island and in Toledo City. No power, barely any food, limited fuel and long lines at any open stores.
We've been waiting for your vlogs and thankful that everyone's OK! Thank you for helping out! There's a lot to do for recovery. It's nice to see Story's in high spirit with a smile. She's a strong kid! Take care guys! 💙💚💛
I truly truly admire all of you for your determination and bravery and most especially your will to re-build Siargao. You have no idea how proud I am of you guys! I have started to tell friends about your beautiful family. You set the bar so high...really high.
Story is an inspiring and great ray of sunshine and hope! Here positivity and kind innocence is inspiring and contagious in a good way! Stay safe guys and our hearts and minds go to all the people affected by the typhoon.
Dont lose hope to philippines. Philippines is such a wonderful country. Its just that its a tropical type of country so storms and typhoons normally hit it every year. But with resilincy of filipinos and its country itself os very very unimaginable. We can survive anything. Just be positive! Siargiao will heal! Siargiao will survive! Siargao will rise again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think for the typhoon to hit this area is unusual. Never heard of any typhoon hitting Siargao this strong. It's probably one of those rare events -- like the super typhoon that hit New York and Tacloban years ago. I was in NY when Sandy happened. Lived there for 20 years with no hurricane and then we were suddenly hit. Climate change.
You are a strong and resilent family. You have given Story that strength and resilence. It is so plain to see. She is smart and knows the hardship and what you are going through. She is being a source of strength for you. She is a special young lady.
Looking great !! The baby is beautiful, God Bless her little soul !!!! It's gotta be so hard on the children please always remember the little one ..... God Bless be safe . Sending Prayers and Hugs guys 😇🙏💙❤💚
Please don't skip ads and those in premium please watch thousand times to help. With our little way, we could help. If you have time to watch their typhoon unrelated videos as well please do so. Thanks everyone! This is the spirit of Christmas and how Filipinos do bayanihan!
Wow👏👏👏from 234k to 235k subscribers now. Let's continue supporting Jay, Sacha and Story. It's beautiful to see how big help they are to Papang who is 70. Old persons need strong support from his surrounding. It's hurting for our old people to experience such serious damages.
Stay strong Jay, Sacha and Story. Everything will be rebuilt back, much better and stronger. We continue to pray for all kababayans affected by this super typhoon.
You are just like a Filipino in spirit. The resilience and the patience made you not a different amongst siargaonons. I share you my prayers. God always with you and protect you always.
I'm Always praying for you to comback again Goooo,gooo, 🎉🎉 more blessings to come after this devastation of Typhoon fully support you guys Sur Jay and Sha Sha and Stay good health Cute adorable Poppy Godbless u all 🙂🙏 from Tondo manila Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 💕❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏 Sending love and Hugs
Been following you since then and more so now with your updates of the aftermath of Odette. So happy so see all three of you and poppy are safe. Praying for fast Siargao and other islands fast recovery.
Could not wait for an update from you. Heartbreaking to see the devastation and to see your beautiful family suffer. You will get through this and yes, not skipping ads at all.
Story is such an inspiration to little girls who can help in picking those shattered glasses and she brightens yours and our days, too. Keep strong and safe ..
The cacophony of the chain saw gives you a sense of relief that rehabilitation and reconstruction is here and now, at least some semblance of return to normalcy after a massive devastation of property and vegetation. Hopefully utilities will be back; after all, potable water is essential. God protect you all and keep you safe always. 🙏
You guys are amazing. Despite of heat happened we can still see overwhelming positivity while dealing with the aftermath of the disaster. We will rise and learn from this. Keep safe and stay strong Jay Sacha and little story.
Pls continue to be a beacon of light for the people there. I admire you for not leaving your physical house and your ‘home.’ Every help is on its way you guys. 💛
Thank you guys.Just be optimistic that a rainbow will appear after the rain. Happy to see you safe and just ask help to Filipinos around you and we are willing to help anyone in need. A Pinoy here in Japan
I have a daughter that same age.. it's amazing how much energy and hope you can get from hugging the little innocent one.. when you're feeling hopeless a warm embrace can get you started again..
oh, story, you're such an inspiration! a day at a time...with God's grace things will be okay. you may not see the rest of the country right now, but the people of luzon are doing everything we can to get help to all of you. it's just really harder as odette hit more than even yolanda did.
You guys are amazing, thank you all for not skipping ads and helping us recover slowly. It's going to take time but we will get there
NOT SKIPPING ADS!

no skipping ads.
So delighted and happy to see Story happy and getting involved in her on ways clearing the surroundings.
Its situations like these that changes our perspective towards life and makes you appreciate the little things. Material wants become less of a priority to a person and basic neccesities (food, shelter,
water etc) becomes more valuable. This is one of those moments where you feel most truly alive and happy knowing that your family is safe.
Till water arrives, you can use the coconut water for hydrating yur bodies... Its even o.k. to use as a I.V. as done during the war.

I am so happy that you guys are safe. Story you are such an amazing little girl, at an early age you have already shown resiliency amidst life's trials. I love your positivity. Big hugs to your family. God bless!
Hi J, Sascha and Story. I have been your avid viewer ever since. This is my first time to write a comment. Just like everyone else, my immediate thoughts were with you when the typhoon hit Siargao and I am glad that you are safe. I hope that you will not be discouraged by this disaster and instead see this as opportunity for you to rebuild and get back on your feet, and when that happens I will be very happy for your family. To this day, I continue to be amazed by by your actions and response to this disaster. Keep on going and I will continue to watch your journey. Know that there are people like me who watches from afar and see your family as inspiration.
I’m wondering why drains built into all the floors are not a requirement when building in tropical places like this for this reason.
Glad your cars are running! I know you were worried about those especially since one was borrowed.
I love to see you all working together and offering an empty home to those in need!
Because the rain isn't supposed to get it. Noting your observation, it is worth considering when building any structure.
stay strong j, sacha, story, and poppy.
will donate again tomorrow. 🙏🙏
it is so cute that Story is doing her share of work, helping her parents.
Your family is amazing! Each of you are a ray of light.
Thank you for sharing! We are snowed in with supplies and water and electricity. Internet is so nice! Love the happy girl cheering you all up! Love, peace and awareness!
Stay safe 8 miles family... when I watched your video during the typhoon and I heard you guys screaming and crying but still 3 of you calling poppy I do really felt how wonderful people you are. All I can do is cry in silent and pray, and now you still have time thanking your viewers for not skipping the adds. God bless you guys. Yes for the next few weeks everything will okay for sure.
I am so thankful you are all ok and glad you are finally able to publish some updates. I have been telling people about the storm and here in the US many are unaware. Praying for you all.
You have the brave heart of the filipinos, experiencing the strongest typhoon w/ Story is scary but you made it guys.
I am not skipping ads. I love this family.
Spreading the Brit grit! 👏👏👍 It must be tough is an understatement but really happy for you guys. Overwhelmed. x
Story is a brave and courageous bright light of hope and sweet pure innocence! You are raising a positive and beautiful child!
Your 8MfH family is always here for you always. Stay strong, family! Stand strong, Siargao ❤❤

Hang in there. My relatives are struggling on Mactan Island and in Toledo City. No power, barely any food, limited fuel and long lines at any open stores.
We've been waiting for your vlogs and thankful that everyone's OK! Thank you for helping out! There's a lot to do for recovery. It's nice to see Story's in high spirit with a smile. She's a strong kid! Take care guys! 💙💚💛

Stay strong 8miles from home.. just like how Filipino's being resilient..
My first time ever not skipping ads😀🌹🌷...simply because we care and and the people of Siargao needs You....pay it forward..
Story is an inspiring and great ray of sunshine and hope! Here positivity and kind innocence is inspiring and contagious in a good way! Stay safe guys and our hearts and minds go to all the people affected by the typhoon.
You are an inspiration amidst this bad situation.
Dont lose hope to philippines. Philippines is such a wonderful country. Its just that its a tropical type of country so storms and typhoons normally hit it every year. But with resilincy of filipinos and its country itself os very very unimaginable. We can survive anything. Just be positive! Siargiao will heal! Siargiao will survive! Siargao will rise again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think for the typhoon to hit this area is unusual. Never heard of any typhoon hitting Siargao this strong. It's probably one of those rare events -- like the super typhoon that hit New York and Tacloban years ago. I was in NY when Sandy happened. Lived there for 20 years with no hurricane and then we were suddenly hit. Climate change.
Story is keeping you sane in spite of all the troubles that you guys went through. She’s truly a blessing from God.
All those falling coconut trees are very useful it can be used as lumber for building houses👍🙏❤
You are a strong and resilent family. You have given Story that strength and resilence. It is so plain to see. She is smart and knows the hardship and what you are going through. She is being a source of strength for you. She is a special young lady.
Looking great !! The baby is beautiful, God Bless her little soul !!!! It's gotta be so hard on the children please always remember the little one ..... God Bless be safe . Sending Prayers and Hugs guys 😇🙏💙❤💚
Great of you guys of letting the guest house to be used by families that need it more at this time! Great deeds always pay back! God bless
Love you guys !🤗🥰 just keep the spirit high despite this nightmare.. praying full for your blessings & more strength 🙏🙏🙏
Praying for everyone that got hit hard in Philippines to recover safely. Doing my part by not skipping on ads and watching your videos constantly.

Wow👏👏👏from 234k to 235k subscribers now. Let's continue supporting Jay, Sacha and Story. It's beautiful to see how big help they are to Papang who is 70. Old persons need strong support from his surrounding. It's hurting for our old people to experience such serious damages.
Stay strong Jay, Sacha and Story. Everything will be rebuilt back, much better and stronger. We continue to pray for all kababayans affected by this super typhoon.
You are just like a Filipino in spirit. The resilience and the patience made you not a different amongst siargaonons. I share you my prayers. God always with you and protect you always.

Been following you since then and more so now with your updates of the aftermath of Odette. So happy so see all three of you and poppy are safe. Praying for fast Siargao and other islands fast recovery.
Could not wait for an update from you. Heartbreaking to see the devastation and to see your beautiful family suffer. You will get through this and yes, not skipping ads at all.
Story is such an inspiration to little girls who can help in picking those shattered glasses and she brightens yours and our days, too. Keep strong and safe ..
The cacophony of the chain saw gives you a sense of relief that rehabilitation and reconstruction is here and now, at least some semblance of return to normalcy after a massive devastation of property and vegetation. Hopefully utilities will be back; after all, potable water is essential. God protect you all and keep you safe always. 🙏
Thank you for sticking around and not losing hope.
You guys are amazing. Despite of heat happened we can still see overwhelming positivity while dealing with the aftermath of the disaster. We will rise and learn from this. Keep safe and stay strong Jay Sacha and little story.
Pls continue to be a beacon of light for the people there. I admire you for not leaving your physical house and your ‘home.’ Every help is on its way you guys. 💛
Thank you guys.Just be optimistic that a rainbow will appear after the rain.
Happy to see you safe and just ask help to Filipinos around you and we are willing to help anyone in need.

I have a daughter that same age.. it's amazing how much energy and hope you can get from hugging the little innocent one.. when you're feeling hopeless a warm embrace can get you started again..
oh, story, you're such an inspiration! a day at a time...with God's grace things will be okay. you may not see the rest of the country right now, but the people of luzon are doing everything we can to get help to all of you. it's just really harder as odette hit more than even yolanda did.
The innocence of a child... really an inspiration to be always hopeful. take care guys. sending our love to all there affected.
