In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station.

Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive.
