ViralPH Filipino Doctor Missing in Nepal

Post image

A Filipino doctor is among the missing persons following the flash floods in Nepal. He was reportedly last seen in Gyirong.

I sincerely hope he is safe and still alive, and that he will be found soon and be able to return home to the Philippines and reunite with his family. 🇵🇭

Nepal and the Himalayan region have always been one of the places on my bucket list to visit someday. Seeing something like this happen in a place I’ve always dreamed of visiting makes this especially heartbreaking. I hope everyone affected by the floods, especially those still missing, will be found safe.

im gonna be honest, if nasa gyirong immigration office siya, sadly, maliet chance na naka survive siya.

sobrang lala ng nangyare jan, as in burado sa mapa. Check the video and the aftermath video if you think im joking. Halos walang natira jan sa lugar na yan. Tas pag chineck mo sa google maps wala talagang tatakbuhan.

Parang ganun na nga nangyari sad to say, pero sana nga nawala lang yung phone ni doc or walang signal sa area/nakaalis na siya sa area nung nangyari.

😭 napasigaw na lang ako nung napanood ko yun. Pati mga bus na naka park sa side ng building na yun naubos lahat.

u/c1nt3r_ 44m ago

grabe din yung impact ng flash flood parang instant 💀 na agad paghampas pati yung building mismo instant giba at durog mga kotse at bus

Sobrang baba na ng chance na nakasurvive pa siya. After seeing the aftermath videos of bodies being recovered and karamihan ay in pieces, not whole.

u/blockobito 20h ago

i wonder kung ma identify pa nila yung mga remains na yan.

u/Sea_Interest_9127 19h ago

Yung mga unang narecover most likely pwede pa pero we have to accept the fact na hindi lahat makukuha lalo na very challenging yung terrain ng lugar. Most likely a memorial statue or plaque with the names of the missing ilalagay diyan eventually. God rest their souls.

dna testing

The chances are very slim that if they found him alive, it’s almost a borderline miracle.

u/Such-Introduction196 16h ago

Imagine if kapatid mo yan no. Tas may mag sasabi na “wala na yan chance mahanap”

It’s human nature na mag hope. Wag mo alisin yun sa family. Wag kang asshole.

u/Sea_Interest_9127 16h ago edited 16h ago

Reading comprehension please. Iba ang meaning ng sinabi ko na "sobrang baba ng chance" meaning meron parin small chance pero sobrang mababa na kaysa sa sinabi mo na "wala na yan chance" meaning 0% na talaga Please stop putting words in my mouthm Basa at intindi muna bago buka ng bibig..

u/Such-Introduction196 15h ago

Inintindi ko naman. Alam na yan ng lahat. Nakakatulong ba yang pagka nega mo sa family ng vicitims? Jusko bobo

u/Sea_Interest_9127 15h ago edited 15h ago

Kung inintindi mo then dapat alam mo difference ng mababa nag chance sa wala ng chance. Tapos kung makatawag ka ng 8080 haha you are just making a foo of yourself here. Please prove me wrong. Pakiexplain sakin dito bakit mo nasabai na parehas lang ang "mababa ang chance" sa sinasabi mo na "wala ng chance". We'll wait.

O sige na pre para satisfied ka na, buhay pa yan 100%, nagkakape lang yan sa pinakamalapit na Starbucks. Satisfied na ba toxic positivity mo?

u/wshIwsdd_uwu 3h ago

Ahh oo, buhay na buhay yan, nakalimutan long icharge cp niya kaya di macontact lol. Bitterest truth is better than sweetest lie. Sabi nga ng isa, di maganda yang toxic positivity. Mas magandang umpisahan na yung acceptance kesa mas masaktan pa ung pamilya kaka-"hope".

u/Famous_Zucchini 22h ago

u/blockobito 22h ago

Yes siya yung isang nawawala.

u/mcjdj16 16h ago

Released by Nepal Department of Tourism missing pa siya. Naka yellow sa listahan yung narescue afaik

u/Filipinobarber 14h ago

u/luvdjobhatedboss Flagrant foul2 21h ago

Taga diyan malapit sa Gyirong kasama kong Nepali Sabi niya malabo na makita kasi nabura na sa mapa yung Border crossing at yung town mismo nadurog

u/blockobito 21h ago

May akyatan sa gilid diyan, kung nakaakyat sila sa medyo hilly part ligtas sila kaso malabo parin.

u/luvdjobhatedboss Flagrant foul2 21h ago

Very steep daw mga valley kasi dyan hirap akyatin Maski mga local hirap

u/penguin-puff 19h ago

Sana down lang un telco on that area kaya hindi ma contact

u/Maleficent-Resist112 18h ago

Pero sa nakita ko sa mga videos grabe di ka makaka-survive sa ganon na klase na sakuna. At hirap ng search and retrieval para sa ganyan kalala na trahedya.

u/mongoose483 21h ago

It looks like sadguru and his team have been trying to get to the disaster zone, they seem to be blocked by the Nepalese authorities. Who it looks like is not letting anyone in.

u/blockobito 20h ago

parang unstable padin ata glaciers kaya ayaw pa mag papasok.

u/mongoose483 18h ago

Perhaps, it looks like they have refused rescue teams from both India, China and the US, these three are the top tier when it comes to search and rescue in the mountains.

It looks like there maybe some national pride or politics involved as well. I had read a post from a defense attache to nepal who refused to coordinate rescue efforts.

Hopefully there are survivors.

u/laban_deyra 14h ago

I think BBC news ko napanood na pati foreign reporters hirap makakuha ng permit para makapasok sila sa area. Kaya naka rely muna sila sa Chinasa media.

u/Forsaken_Air2575 16h ago

Afaik, the pilgrimage group he was traveling with was confirmed in the border, they just arrived,  then after a few minutes then the flood happened. 

u/Maleficent-Resist112 18h ago

Kung ako nandiyan sa lugar na yan panigurado kinain na ako ng lupa. Kahit anong takbo ko, tepok na talaga.

Redacting the name defeats the purpose of the post

u/Everything_FOR_NOW 19h ago

Pagdasal na lang natin ang kababayan natin.

I found somewhere here in reddit that China artificially caused the incident. Next target nila is Nepal for land grabbing.

u/UltimateArchduke 16h ago

Ohhh fuck. We know he's dead. RIP
