We are from New Guia, Maayon, Capiz in Panay Island. We go to Roxas City a lot for groceries and other supplies and necessities. It takes about one hour to go from here to Roxas City where some of my wife's family lives. This little Barangay is like a little city or village with lots of sara sara stores, a Catholic Church, and a Baptist Church. Everyone here lives close to everyone else and most of the people here are related to each other both close relatives and distant relatives.

Asawa ko is from Davao City Mindanao, and I am from Houston, Texas USA.  It's cool to see all the different mixtures of couples in this thread. Even if it's an old thread.  😉😉😉

We were flooded into our home for almost a week, but no damage or loss.  We were one of the lucky ones. Hope everyone made it okay with our hurricane....and now I hope the people of Florida stay safe with the one coming their way.
