We are living in the northern part of Cebu but not in the epicenter area. It was exactly 9:59 pm when the earthquake hit. I run to our sliding window to check then I saw the houses of our neighbors are swaying and that was exactly what happened to our house too. I screamed and called my daughters that we need to go out from the house, I go back to my bedroom picked my handbag where my wallets is because that is the most important to bring.My youngest daughter was sleeping already so her elder sister awakes her. When we are in first floor I hold the hands of my daughters and we run out to go outside. That was my first time to experienced such a strong earthquake.
