00:00Four Filipinos are still being searched in Myanmar,

00:03who are among the missing people following the collapse of the houses

00:06due to the magnitude 7.7 earthquake there.

00:10Their families are calling for the rescue operations to be done quickly.

00:15This is Jonathan Andal's breaking news.

00:20Mr. Edsil!

00:23Lex!

00:25Alexis!

00:26Lex!

00:56Alexis said that under this sofa is the room of the couple on the 9th floor of Tower D.

01:03Their family prayed in Bae City in Negros Oriental for their safety.

01:10We lit a candle, hoping for a miracle.

01:16Even though they are inside, they are still alive.

01:22I can't accept this.

01:25They will be gone.

01:27Our eldest son is kind and talented.

01:30He is very talented.

01:32But no matter what happens, God will take care of it.

01:36We dream that they are still alive.

01:39We don't give up hoping that they are still alive.

01:43We wanted to ask everybody who can see this video to keep praying

01:50that we will be able to receive a miracle for Alex and Edsil

01:56that they are found or they will be found alive.

02:00Another Filipino is missing, Francis Aragon, who also lives in Sky Villa Condominium on the 6th floor of Tower D.

02:08This is what Tower D looks like based on the picture that was sent to Francis' wife.

02:14We don't know where he is, if he went out of the condo or if he is still trapped there.

02:19I have no idea.

02:22I just want to find him, to see him as soon as possible.

02:26Aside from Francis, Edsil and Alexis, there is another Filipino missing in Myanmar according to the DFA.

02:33According to the DFA, four of them are accounted for.

02:36They are professionals, usually teachers and office workers.

02:41According to their family, three Filipinos went to Myanmar to teach in an international school there.

02:48Francis will only be in Myanmar for a year.

02:51This is the first time we have been away for this long.

02:54He has been there for a year.

02:56We have children, four and two.

02:58He is still very young.

02:59We have a lot of bills and debts that we have to pay.

03:03So we sacrificed to be away for a while so that he can go to Myanmar.

03:11But our plan is, if it's okay that he will be able to pay his debts soon,

03:19he can bring his family with him so that we can really be together.

03:24The Adalid couple have been in Myanmar for two years.

03:27But they will be moving this February to Gumuhung Sky Villa Condominium.

03:31The family's latest news is that the couple is inside the condo when the earthquake happened.

03:37The DFA said that they are preparing to move to Myanmar with 114 people on April 1,

03:44which will last for two weeks for humanitarian aid.

03:48The family of the missing want to go to Myanmar with them.

03:53I want to go there.

03:55No matter what happens, I want to see him there.
