Help the man who lost it all in the rain

MANILA, Philippines – Remember the story of the man who lost it all in the rain?

Remember the name Jessie Baylon of Barangay Commonwealth in Fairview, Quezon City?

Remember how this 50-year-old lost 5 of his 7 children, his 3 grandchildren, and his wife in a terrible landslide on a Tuesday, August 7?

Remember how his home of plywood and tin, which stood on a spot, which he thought was “the best from what was left” was buried in that horrific landslide?

Remember how his eldest son, 24-year-old JepJep Baylon, is struggling to breathe because of broken ribs?

Rappler’s Carlos Santamaria wrote their story in a previously published piece. Read about it here.
