A three-month-old baby was kept safe in Lal-lo, Cagayan after she was placed in a tub or "batya" by her parents as they evacuated from their home due to the flooding after Typhoon Ulysses' onslaught.
Ayla Erin T. Agnes was wide-eyed and awake as her parents, Romelyn and Raffy Tabalno, crossed a flooded area in Bagumbayan at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12.
The residence of the Tabalnos got flooded after Ulysses brought heavy rains on Thursday.
While evacuating, the couple used a tub for their baby as a mode of transportation to cross the chest-deep floodwaters.
Aside from Baby Ayla, the Tabalnos also have another child aged one year and eight months.
Due to the widespread flooding, Cagayan was placed under a state of calamity on Saturday, Governor Manuel Mamba said. —Jamil Santos/KG, GMA News
