[quote]One survivor of the horrifying storm to hit the central Philippines simply wrote "Alive" on a paper plate and gave it to a journalist along with his name.
A picture of that plate and other anguished pleas handed to reporters on scraps of paper and card has been posted on the GMA News network and circulated on social networks.
Another young woman looking for her two missing toddlers was photographed by a journalist who posted the picture on Twitter. Abigail Castinos was pictured carrying a toy for her children, missing since the storm hit.
Reporters who were in Tacloban at the time ventured out afterwards and found, amid the devastation, people with no way of communicating to the world and desperate to reach their relatives. They plied journalists with their details, begging them to take messages to their loved ones.[/quote]
